1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
This document contains device specific information about the following devices: PIC16F737 PIC16F747 PIC16F767 PIC16F777 The Timer1 module current consumption has been greatly reduced from 20 A (previous PIC16 devices) to 1.8 A typical (32 kHz at 2V), which is ideal for real-time clock applications. Refer to Section 7.0 Timer1 Module for further details. Extended Watchdog Timer (WDT) that can have a programmable period from 1 ms to 268s. The WDT has its own 16-bit prescaler. Refer to Section 15.17 Watchdog Timer (WDT) for further details. Two-Speed Start-up: When the oscillator is configured for LP, XT or HS, this feature will clock the device from the INTRC while the oscillator is warming up. This, in turn, will enable almost immediate code execution. Refer to Section 15.17.3 Two-Speed Clock Start-up Mode for further details. Fail-Safe Clock Monitor: This feature will allow the device to continue operation if the primary or secondary clock source fails, by switching over to the INTRC. The available features are summarized in Table 1-1. Block diagrams of the PIC16F737/767 and PIC16F747/777 devices are provided in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2, respectively. The pinouts for these device families are listed in Table 1-2 and Table 1-3. Additional information may be found in the PICmicro Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual (DS33023), which may be obtained from your local Microchip Sales Representative or downloaded from the Microchip web site. The Reference Manual should be considered a complementary document to this data sheet and is highly recommended reading for a better understanding of the device architecture and operation of the peripheral modules.
PIC16F737/767 devices are available only in 28-pin packages, while PIC16F747/777 devices are available in 40-pin and 44-pin packages. All devices in the PIC16F7X7 family share common architecture with the following differences: The PIC16F737 and PIC16F767 have one-half of the total on-chip memory of the PIC16F747 and PIC16F777. The 28-pin devices have 3 I/O ports, while the 40/44-pin devices have 5. The 28-pin devices have 16 interrupts, while the 40/44-pin devices have 17. The 28-pin devices have 11 A/D input channels, while the 40/44-pin devices have 14. The Parallel Slave Port is implemented only on the 40/44-pin devices. Low-Power modes: RC_RUN allows the core and peripherals to be clocked from the INTRC, while SEC_RUN allows the core and peripherals to be clocked from the low-power Timer1. Refer to Section 4.7 Power Managed Modes for further details. Internal RC oscillator with eight selectable frequencies, including 31.25 kHz, 125 kHz, 250 kHz, 500 kHz, 1 MHz, 2 MHz, 4 MHz and 8 MHz. The INTRC can be configured as a primary or secondary clock source. Refer to Section 4.5 Internal Oscillator Block for further details.

2.0 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
2.2 Data Memory Organization
There are two memory blocks in each of these PICmicro MCUs. The program memory and data memory have separate buses so that concurrent access can occur and is detailed in this section. The program memory can be read internally by user code (see Section 3.0 Reading Program Memory). Additional information on device memory may be found in the PICmicro Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual (DS33023). The data memory is partitioned into multiple banks which contain the General Purpose Registers and the Special Function Registers. Bits RP1 (Status<6>) and RP0 (Status<5>) are the bank select bits: RP1:RP0 00 01 10 11 Bank 0 1 2 3
2.1
Program Memory Organization
The PIC16F7X7 devices have a 13-bit program counter capable of addressing an 8K word x 14-bit program memory space. The PIC16F767/777 devices have 8K words of Flash program memory and the PIC16F737/747 devices have 4K words. The program memory maps for PIC16F7X7 devices are shown in Figure 2-1. Accessing a location above the physically implemented address will cause a wraparound. The Reset vector is at 0000h and the interrupt vector is at 0004h.
Each bank extends up to 7Fh (128 bytes). The lower locations of each bank are reserved for the Special Function Registers. Above the Special Function Registers are General Purpose Registers, implemented as static RAM. All implemented banks contain Special Function Registers. Some frequently used Special Function Registers from one bank may be mirrored in another bank for code reduction and quicker access.
2.2.1
GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER FILE
The register file (shown in Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3) can be accessed either directly, or indirectly, through the File Select Register (FSR).

2.2.2 SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
The Special Function Registers are registers used by the CPU and peripheral modules for controlling the desired operation of the device. These registers are implemented as static RAM. A list of these registers is given in Table 2-1. The Special Function Registers can be classified into two sets: core (CPU) and peripheral. Those registers associated with the core functions are described in detail in this section. Those related to the operation of the peripheral features are described in detail in the peripheral feature section.

2.2.2.1 Status Register
The Status register contains the arithmetic status of the ALU, the Reset status and the bank select bits for data memory. The Status register can be the destination for any instruction, as with any other register. If the Status register is the destination for an instruction that affects the Z, DC or C bits, then the write to these three bits is disabled. These bits are set or cleared according to the device logic. Furthermore, the TO and PD bits are not writable, therefore, the result of an instruction with the Status register as destination may be different than intended. For example, CLRF STATUS, will clear the upper three bits and set the Z bit. This leaves the Status register as 000u u1uu (where u = unchanged). It is recommended, therefore, that only BCF, BSF, SWAPF and MOVWF instructions are used to alter the Status register because these instructions do not affect the Z, C or DC bits from the Status register. For other instructions not affecting any Status bits, see Section 16.0 Instruction Set Summary. Note 1: The C and DC bits operate as a borrow and digit borrow bit, respectively, in subtraction. See the SUBLW and SUBWF instructions for examples.

2.3 PCL and PCLATH
The Program Counter (PC) is 13 bits wide. The low byte comes from the PCL register, which is a readable and writable register. The upper bits (PC<12:8>) are not readable but are indirectly writable through the PCLATH register. On any Reset, the upper bits of the PC will be cleared. Figure 2-4 shows the two situations for the loading of the PC. The upper example in the figure shows how the PC is loaded on a write to PCL (PCLATH<4:0> PCH). The lower example in the figure shows how the PC is loaded during a CALL or GOTO instruction (PCLATH<4:3> PCH). The stack operates as a circular buffer. This means that after the stack has been PUSHed eight times, the ninth push overwrites the value that was stored from the first push. The tenth push overwrites the second push (and so on). Note 1: There are no Status bits to indicate stack overflow or stack underflow conditions. 2: There are no instructions/mnemonics called PUSH or POP. These are actions that occur from the execution of the CALL, RETURN, RETLW and RETFIE instructions or the vectoring to an interrupt address.

PIC16F7X7 devices are capable of addressing a continuous 8K word block of program memory. The CALL and GOTO instructions provide only 11 bits of address to allow branching within any 2K program memory page. When doing a CALL or GOTO instruction, the upper 2 bits of the address are provided by PCLATH<4:3>. When doing a CALL or GOTO instruction, the user must ensure that the page select bits are programmed so that the desired program memory page is addressed. If a return from a CALL instruction (or interrupt) is executed, the entire 13-bit PC is POPed off the stack. Therefore, manipulation of the PCLATH<4:3> bits is not required for the RETURN instructions (which POPs the address from the stack). Note: The contents of the PCLATH are unchanged after a RETURN or RETFIE instruction is executed. The user must set up the PCLATH for any subsequent CALLs or GOTOs.
2.3.1
COMPUTED GOTO
A computed GOTO is accomplished by adding an offset to the program counter (ADDWF PCL). When doing a table read using a computed GOTO method, care should be exercised if the table location crosses a PCL memory boundary (each 256-byte block). Refer to the Application Note, AN556, Implementing a Table Read (DS00556).
Example 2-1 shows the calling of a subroutine in page 1 of the program memory. This example assumes that PCLATH is saved and restored by the Interrupt Service Routine (if interrupts are used).
EXAMPLE 2-1:
ORG BCF BSF
CALL OF A SUBROUTINE IN PAGE 1 FROM PAGE 0
2.3.2
STACK
The PIC16F7X7 family has an 8-level deep x 13-bit wide hardware stack. The stack space is not part of either program or data space and the stack pointer is not readable or writable. The PC is PUSHed onto the stack when a CALL instruction is executed or an interrupt causes a branch. The stack is POPed in the event of a RETURN, RETLW or a RETFIE instruction execution. PCLATH is not affected by a PUSH or POP operation.

The INDF register is not a physical register. Addressing the INDF register will cause indirect addressing. Indirect addressing is possible by using the INDF register. Any instruction using the INDF register actually accesses the register pointed to by the File Select Register, FSR. Reading the INDF register itself indirectly (FSR = 0) will read 00h. Writing to the INDF register indirectly results in a no operation (although Status bits may be affected). An effective 9-bit address is obtained by concatenating the 8-bit FSR register and the IRP bit (Status<7>) as shown in Figure 2-5. A simple program to clear RAM locations 20h-2Fh using indirect addressing is shown in Example 2-2.

3.0 READING PROGRAM MEMORY
The Flash program memory is readable during normal operation over the entire VDD range. It is indirectly addressed through Special Function Registers (SFR). Up to 14-bit numbers can be stored in memory for use as calibration parameters, serial numbers, packed 7-bit ASCII, etc. Executing a program memory location containing data that forms an invalid instruction results in a NOP. There are five SFRs used to read the program and memory. These registers are: PMCON1 PMDATA PMDATH PMADR PMADRH When interfacing to the program memory block, the PMDATH:PMDATA registers form a two-byte word which holds the 14-bit data for reads. The PMADRH:PMADR registers form a two-byte word which holds the 13-bit address of the Flash location being accessed. These devices can have up to 8K words of program Flash, with an address range from 0h to 3FFFh. The unused upper bits in both the PMDATH and PMADRH registers are not implemented and read as 0s.
3.1
PMADR
The address registers can address up to a maximum of 8K words of program Flash. When selecting a program address value, the MSByte of the address is written to the PMADRH register and the LSByte is written to the PMADR register. The upper MSbits of PMADRH must always be clear.
The program memory allows word reads. Program memory access allows for checksum calculation and reading calibration tables.
3.2
PMCON1 Register
PMCON1 is the control register for memory accesses. The control bit, RD, initiates read operations. This bit cannot be cleared, only set, in software. It is cleared in hardware at the completion of the read operation.

3.3 Reading the Flash Program Memory 3.4 Operation During Code-Protect
Flash program memory has its own code-protect mechanism. External read and write operations by programmers are disabled if this mechanism is enabled. The microcontroller can read and execute instructions out of the internal Flash program memory, regardless of the state of the code-protect configuration bits.
A program memory location may be read by writing two bytes of the address to the PMADR and PMADRH registers and then setting control bit, RD (PMCON1<0>). Once the read control bit is set, the microcontroller will use the next two instruction cycles to read the data. The data is available in the PMDATA and PMDATH registers after the second NOP instruction. Therefore, it can be read as two bytes in the following instructions. The PMDATA and PMDATH registers will hold this value until the next read operation.

Different capacitor values may be required to produce acceptable oscillator operation. The user should test the performance of the oscillator over the expected VDD and temperature range for the application. See the notes following this table for additional information. Note 1: Higher capacitance increases the stability of oscillator but also increases the start-up time. 2: Since each crystal has its own characteristics, the user should consult the crystal manufacturer for appropriate values of external components. 3: Rs may be required in HS mode, as well as XT mode, to avoid overdriving crystals with low drive level specification. 4: Always verify oscillator performance over the VDD and temperature range that is expected for the application.

Crystal Oscillator/Ceramic Resonators
In XT, LP or HS modes, a crystal or ceramic resonator is connected to the OSC1/CLKI and OSC2/CLKO pins to establish oscillation (see Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2). The PIC16F7X7 oscillator design requires the use of a parallel cut crystal. Use of a series cut crystal may give a frequency out of the crystal manufacturers specifications.

Note:
When using resonators with frequencies above 3.5 MHz, the use of HS mode rather than XT mode is recommended. HS mode may be used at any VDD for which the controller is rated. If HS is selected, it is possible that the gain of the oscillator will overdrive the resonator. Therefore, a series resistor should be placed between the OSC2 pin and the resonator. As a good starting point, the recommended value of RS is 330.

4.4 RC Oscillator 4.5 Internal Oscillator Block
For timing insensitive applications, the RC and RCIO device options offer additional cost savings. The RC oscillator frequency is a function of the supply voltage, the resistor (REXT) and capacitor (CEXT) values and the operating temperature. In addition to this, the oscillator frequency will vary from unit to unit due to normal manufacturing variation. Furthermore, the difference in lead frame capacitance between package types will also affect the oscillation frequency, especially for low CEXT values. The user also needs to take into account variation due to tolerance of external R and C components used. Figure 4-4 shows how the R/C combination is connected. In the RC Oscillator mode, the oscillator frequency divided by 4 is available on the OSC2 pin. This signal may be used for test purposes or to synchronize other logic. The PIC16F7X7 devices include an internal oscillator block which generates two different clock signals; either can be used as the systems clock source. This can eliminate the need for external oscillator circuits on the OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins. The main output (INTOSC) is an 8 MHz clock source which can be used to directly drive the system clock. It also drives the INTOSC postscaler which can provide a range of six clock frequencies, from 125 kHz to 4 MHz. The other clock source is the internal RC oscillator (INTRC), which provides a 31.25 kHz (32 s nominal period) output. The INTRC oscillator is enabled by selecting the INTRC as the system clock source or when any of the following are enabled: Power-up Timer Watchdog Timer Two-Speed Start-up Fail-Safe Clock Monitor

These features are discussed in greater detail in Section 15.0 Special Features of the CPU. The clock source frequency (INTOSC direct, INTRC direct or INTOSC postscaler) is selected by configuring the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register (page 38). Note: Throughout this data sheet, when referring specifically to a generic clock source, the term INTRC may also be used to refer to the clock modes using the internal oscillator block. This is regardless of whether the actual frequency used is INTOSC (8 MHz), the INTOSC postscaler or INTRC (31.25 kHz).

4.5.1 INTRC MODES 4.5.2 OSCTUNE REGISTER
Using the internal oscillator as the clock source can eliminate the need for up to two external oscillator pins, after which it can be used for digital I/O. Two distinct configurations are available: In INTIO1 mode, the OSC2 pin outputs FOSC/4, while OSC1 functions as RA7 for digital input and output. In INTIO2 mode, OSC1 functions as RA7 and OSC2 functions as RA6, both for digital input and output. The internal oscillators output has been calibrated at the factory but can be adjusted in the application. This is done by writing to the OSCTUNE register (Register 4-1). The tuning sensitivity is constant throughout the tuning range. The OSCTUNE register has a tuning range of 12.5%. When the OSCTUNE register is modified, the INTOSC and INTRC frequencies will begin shifting to the new frequency. The INTRC clock will reach the new frequency within 8 clock cycles (approximately 8 * 32 s = 256 s); the INTOSC clock will stabilize within 1 ms. Code execution continues during this shift. There is no indication that the shift has occurred. Operation of features that depend on the 31.25 kHz INTRC clock source frequency, such as the WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor and peripherals, will also be affected by the change in frequency.

4.6 Clock Sources and Oscillator Switching
the main oscillator that is selected by the FOSC2:FOSC0 configuration bits in Configuration Register 1. When the bits are set in any other manner, the system clock source is provided by the Timer1 oscillator (SCS1:SCS0 = 01) or from the internal oscillator block (SCS1:SCS0 = 10). After a Reset, SCS<1:0> are always set to 00. The internal oscillator select bits, IRCF2:IRCF0, select the frequency output of the internal oscillator block that is used to drive the system clock. The choices are the INTRC source (31.25 kHz), the INTOSC source (8 MHz) or one of the six frequencies derived from the INTOSC postscaler (125 kHz to 4 MHz). Changing the configuration of these bits has an immediate change on the internal oscillators output. The OSTS and IOFS bits indicate the status of the primary oscillator and INTOSC source; these bits are set when their respective oscillators are stable. In particular, OSTS indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer has timed out.
The PIC16F7X7 devices include a feature that allows the system clock source to be switched from the main oscillator to an alternate low-frequency clock source. PIC16F7X7 devices offer three alternate clock sources. When enabled, these give additional options for switching to the various power managed operating modes. Essentially, there are three clock sources for these devices: Primary oscillators Secondary oscillators Internal oscillator block (INTRC) The primary oscillators include the External Crystal and Resonator modes, the External RC modes, the External Clock mode and the internal oscillator block. The particular mode is defined on POR by the contents of Configuration Word 1. The details of these modes are covered earlier in this chapter. The secondary oscillators are those external sources not connected to the OSC1 or OSC2 pins. These sources may continue to operate even after the controller is placed in a power managed mode. PIC16F7X7 devices offer the Timer1 oscillator as a secondary oscillator. This oscillator continues to run when a SLEEP instruction is executed and is often the time base for functions, such as a real-time clock. Most often, a 32.768 kHz watch crystal is connected between the RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI and RC1/T1OSI/CCP2 pins. Like the LP mode oscillator circuit, loading capacitors are also connected from each pin to ground. The Timer1 oscillator is discussed in greater detail in Section 7.6 Timer1 Oscillator. In addition to being a primary clock source, the internal oscillator block is available as a power managed mode clock source. The 31.25 kHz INTRC source is also used as the clock source for several special features, such as the WDT, Fail-Safe Clock Monitor, Power-up Timer and Two-Speed Start-up. The clock sources for the PIC16F7X7 devices are shown in Figure 4-6. See Section 7.0 Timer1 Module for further details of the Timer1 oscillator. See Section 15.1 Configuration Bits for Configuration register details.
4.6.2
CLOCK SWITCHING
Clock switching will occur for the following reasons: The FCMEN (CONFIG2<0>) bit is set, the device is running from the primary oscillator and the primary oscillator fails. The clock source will be 31.25 kHz INTRC. The FCMEN bit is set, the device is running from the T1OSC and T1OSC fails. The clock source will be 31.25 kHz INTRC. Following a wake-up due to a Reset or a POR, when the device is configured for Two-Speed mode, switching will occur between the INTRC and the system clock defined by the FOSC<2:0> bits. A wake-up from Sleep occurs due to interrupt or WDT wake-up and Two-Speed Start-up is enabled. If the primary clock is XT, HS or LP, the clock will switch between the INTRC and the primary system clock after 1024 clocks (OST) and 8 clocks of the primary oscillator. This is conditional upon the SCS bits being set equal to 00. SCS bits are modified from their original value. IRCF bits are modified from their original value. Note: Because the SCS bits are cleared on any Reset, no clock switching will occur on a Reset unless the Two-Speed Start-up is enabled and the primary clock is XT, HS or LP. The device will wait for the primary clock to become stable before execution begins (Two-Speed Start-up disabled).
4.6.1
OSCCON REGISTER
The OSCCON register (Register 4-2) controls several aspects of the system clocks operation, both in full power operation and in power managed modes. The system clock select bits, SCS1:SCS0, select the clock source that is used when the device is operating in power managed modes. When the bits are cleared (SCS<1:0> = 00), the system clock source comes from

4.6.3 CLOCK TRANSITION AND WDT
When clock switching is performed, the Watchdog Timer is disabled because the Watchdog Ripple Counter is used as the Oscillator Start-up Timer. Note: The OST is only used when switching to XT, HS and LP Oscillator modes. Once the clock transition is complete (i.e., new oscillator selection switch has occurred), the Watchdog Counter is re-enabled with the Counter Reset. This allows the user to synchronize the Watchdog Timer to the start of execution at the new clock frequency.

MODIFYING THE IRCF BITS
The IRCF bits can be modified at any time, regardless of which clock source is currently being used as the system clock. The internal oscillator allows users to change the frequency during run-time. This is achieved by modifying the IRCF bits in the OSCCON register. The sequence of events that occur after the IRCF bits are modified is dependent upon the initial value of the IRCF bits before they are modified. If the INTRC (31.25 kHz, IRCF<2:0> = 000) is running and the IRCF bits are modified to any other value than 000, a 4 ms clock switch delay is turned on. Code execution continues at a higher than expected frequency while the new frequency stabilizes. Time sensitive code should wait for the IOFS bit in the OSCCON register to become set before continuing. This bit can be monitored to ensure that the frequency is stable before using the system clock in time critical applications.
If the IRCF bits are modified while the internal oscillator is running at any other frequency than INTRC (31.25 kHz, IRCF<2:0> 000), there is no need for a 4 ms clock switch delay. The new INTOSC frequency will be stable immediately after the eight falling edges. The IOFS bit will remain set after clock switching occurs. Note: Caution must be taken when modifying the IRCF bits using BCF or BSF instructions. It is possible to modify the IRCF bits to a frequency that may be out of the VDD specification range; for example, VDD = 2.0V and IRCF = 111 (8 MHz).

4.6.5 CLOCK TRANSITION SEQUENCE
The following are three different sequences for switching the internal RC oscillator frequency: Clock before switch: 31.25 kHz (IRCF<2:0> = 000) 1. IRCF bits are modified to an INTOSC/INTOSC postscaler frequency. 2. The clock switching circuitry waits for a falling edge of the current clock, at which point CLKO is held low. 3. The clock switching circuitry then waits for eight falling edges of requested clock, after which it switches CLKO to this new clock source. 4. The IOFS bit is clear to indicate that the clock is unstable and a 4 ms delay is started. Time dependent code should wait for IOFS to become set. 5. Switchover is complete. Clock before switch: One of INTOSC/INTOSC postscaler (IRCF<2:0> 000) 1. IRCF bits are modified to INTRC (IRCF<2:0> = 000). 2. The clock switching circuitry waits for a falling edge of the current clock, at which point CLKO is held low. 3. The clock switching circuitry then waits for eight falling edges of requested clock, after which it switches CLKO to this new clock source. 4. Oscillator switchover is complete. Clock before switch: One of INTOSC/INTOSC postscaler (IRCF<2:0> 000) 1. IRCF bits are modified to a different INTOSC/ INTOSC postscaler frequency. 2. The clock switching circuitry waits for a falling edge of the current clock, at which point CLKO is held low. 3. The clock switching circuitry then waits for eight falling edges of requested clock, after which it switches CLKO to this new clock source. 4. The IOFS bit is set. 5.

Power Managed Modes

RC_RUN MODE
When SCS bits are configured to run from the INTRC, a clock transition is generated if the system clock is not already using the INTRC. The event will clear the OSTS bit and switch the system clock from the primary system clock (if SCS<1:0> = 00) determined by the value contained in the configuration bits, or from the T1OSC (if SCS<1:0> = 01) to the INTRC clock option, and shut down the primary system clock to conserve power. Clock switching will not occur if the primary system clock is already configured as INTRC.
If the system clock does not come from the INTRC (31.25 kHz) when the SCS bits are changed and the IRCF bits in the OSCCON register are configured for a frequency other than INTRC, the frequency may not be stable immediately. The IOFS bit (OSCCON<2> will be set when the INTOSC or postscaler frequency is stable, after approximately 4 ms. After a clock switch has been executed, the OSTS bit is cleared, indicating a low-power mode and the device does not run from the primary system clock. The internal Q clocks are held in the Q1 state until eight falling edge clocks are counted on the INTRC oscillator. After the eight clock periods have transpired, the clock input to the Q clocks is released and operation resumes (see Figure 4-7).

The crystal must be connected to the T1OSO and T1OSI pins. This is the same configuration as the low-power timer circuit (see Section 7.6 Timer1 Oscillator). When SCS bits are configured to run from T1OSC, a clock transition is generated. It will clear the OSTS bit, switch the system clock from either the primary system clock or INTRC, depending on the value of SCS<1:0> and FOSC<2:0>, to the external low-power Timer1 oscillator input (T1OSC) and shut down the primary system clock to conserve power. After a clock switch has been executed, the internal Q clocks are held in the Q1 state until eight falling edge clocks are counted on the T1OSC. After the eight clock periods have transpired, the clock input to the Q clocks is released and operation resumes (see Figure 4-8). In addition, T1RUN (in T1CON) is set to indicate that T1OSC is being used as the system clock.
A clock switching event will occur if the final state of the SCS bits is different from the original.

4.7.3 SEC_RUN/RC_RUN TO PRIMARY CLOCK SOURCE 4.7.3.1 Returning to Primary Clock Source Sequence
When switching from a SEC_RUN or RC_RUN mode back to the primary system clock, following a change of SCS<1:0> to 00, the sequence of events that take place will depend upon the value of the FOSC bits in the Configuration register. If the primary clock source is configured as a crystal (HS, XT or LP), then the transition will take place after 1024 clock cycles. This is necessary because the crystal oscillator has been powered down until the time of the transition. In order to provide the system with a reliable clock when the changeover has occurred, the clock will not be released to the changeover circuit until the 1024 counts have expired. During the oscillator start-up time, the system clock comes from the current system clock. Instruction execution and/or peripheral operation continues using the currently selected oscillator as the CPU clock source until the necessary clock count has expired to ensure that the primary system clock is stable. To know when the OST has expired, the OSTS bit should be monitored. OSTS = 1 indicates that the Oscillator Start-up Timer has timed out and the system clock comes from the primary clock source. Following the oscillator start-up time, the internal Q clocks are held in the Q1 state until eight falling edge clocks are counted from the primary system clock. The clock input to the Q clocks is then released and operation resumes with the primary system clock determined by the FOSC bits (see Figure 4-10). When in SEC_RUN mode, the act of clearing the T1OSCEN bit in the T1CON register will cause SCS<0> to be cleared, which causes the SCS<1:0> bits to revert to 00 or 10 depending on what SCS<1> is. Although the T1OSCEN bit was cleared, T1OSC will be enabled and instruction execution will continue until the OST time-out for the main system clock is complete. At that time, the system clock will switch from the T1OSC to the primary clock or the INTRC. Following this, the T1 oscillator will be shut down. Note: If the primary system clock is either RC or EC, an internal delay timer (5-10 s) will suspend operation after exiting Secondary Clock mode to allow the CPU to become ready for code execution. Changing back to the primary oscillator from SEC_RUN or RC_RUN can be accomplished by either changing SCS<1:0> to 00 or clearing the T1OSCEN bit in the T1CON register (if T1OSC was the secondary clock). The sequence of events that follows is the same for both modes: 1. If the primary system clock is configured as EC, RC or INTRC, then the OST time-out is skipped. Skip to step 3. If the primary system clock is configured as an external oscillator (HS, XT, LP), then the OST will be active, waiting for 1024 clocks of the primary system clock. On the following Q1, the device holds the system clock in Q1. The device stays in Q1 while eight falling edges of the primary system clock are counted. Once the eight counts transpire, the device begins to run from the primary oscillator. If the secondary clock was INTRC and the primary is not INTRC, the INTRC will be shut down to save current, providing that the INTRC is not being used for any other function, such as WDT or Fail-Safe Clock Monitoring. If the secondary clock was T1OSC, the T1OSC will continue to run if T1OSCEN is still set; otherwise, the T1 oscillator will be shut down.

4.7.3.2 Returning to Primary Oscillator with a Reset
A Reset will clear SCS<1:0> back to 00. The sequence for starting the primary oscillator following a Reset is the same for all forms of Reset, including POR. There is no transition sequence from the alternate system clock to the primary system clock on a Reset condition. Instead, the device will reset the state of the OSCCON register and default to the primary system clock. The sequence of events that take place after this will depend upon the value of the FOSC bits in the Configuration register. If the external oscillator is configured as a crystal (HS, XT or LP), the CPU will be held in the Q1 state until 1024 clock cycles have transpired on the primary clock. This is necessary because the crystal oscillator had been powered down until the time of the transition. During the oscillator start-up time, instruction execution and/or peripheral operation is suspended. Note: If Two-Speed Clock Start-up mode is enabled, the INTRC will act as the system clock until the OST timer has timed out. 4. no oscillator start-up time required because the primary clock is already stable; however, there is a delay between the wake-up event and the following Q2. An internal delay timer of 5-10 s will suspend operation after the Reset to allow the CPU to become ready for code execution. The CPU and peripheral clock will be held in the first Q1. The sequence of events is as follows: 1. 2. A device Reset is asserted from one of many sources (WDT, BOR, MCLR, etc.). The device resets and the CPU start-up timer is enabled if in Sleep mode. The device is held in Reset until the CPU start-up time-out is complete. If the primary system clock is configured as an external oscillator (HS, XT, LP), then the OST will be active waiting for 1024 clocks of the primary system clock. While waiting for the OST, the device will be held in Reset. The OST and CPU start-up timers run in parallel. After both the CPU start-up and OST timers have timed out, the device will wait for one additional clock cycle and instruction execution will begin.

If the primary system clock is either RC, EC or INTRC, the CPU will begin operating on the first Q1 cycle following the wake-up event. This means that there is

If SCS<1:0> = 01 or 10: 1. 2. The device is held in Sleep until the CPU start-up time-out is complete. After the CPU start-up timer has timed out, the device will exit Sleep and begin instruction execution with the selected oscillator mode. Note: If a user changes SCS<1:0> just before entering Sleep mode, the system clock used when exiting Sleep mode could be different than the system clock used when entering Sleep mode. As an example, if SCS<1:0> = 01, T1OSC is the system clock and the following instructions are executed: BCF SLEEP OSCCON,SCS0 Any interrupt, such as WDT or INT0, will cause the part to leave the Sleep mode. The SCS bits are unaffected by a SLEEP command and are the same before and after entering and leaving Sleep. The clock source used after an exit from Sleep is determined by the SCS bits.

5.0 I/O PORTS
Some pins for these I/O ports are multiplexed with an alternate function for the peripheral features on the device. In general, when a peripheral is enabled, that pin may not be used as a general purpose I/O pin. Additional information on I/O ports may be found in the PICmicro Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual, (DS33023). The other PORTA pins are multiplexed with analog inputs, the analog VREF+ and VREF- inputs and the comparator voltage reference output. The operation of pins RA3:RA0 and RA5 as A/D converter inputs is selected by clearing/setting the control bits in the ADCON1 register (A/D Control Register 1). Pins RA0 through RA5 may also be used as comparator inputs or outputs by setting the appropriate bits in the CMCON register. Note: On a Power-on Reset, RA5 and RA3:RA0 are configured as analog inputs and read as 0. RA4 is configured as a digital input.
5.1
PORTA and the TRISA Register
PORTA is a 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding data direction register is TRISA. Setting a TRISA bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTA pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISA bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTA pin an output (i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin). Reading the PORTA register reads the status of the pins, whereas writing to it, will write to the port latch. The RA4 pin is multiplexed with the Timer0 module clock input and one of the comparator outputs to become the RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT pin. Pins RA6 and RA7 are multiplexed with the main oscillator pins; they are enabled as oscillator or I/O pins by the selection of the main oscillator in Configuration Register 1H (see Section 15.1 Configuration Bits for details). When they are not used as port pins, RA6 and RA7 and their associated TRIS and LAT bits are read as 0.
The RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT pin is a Schmitt Trigger input and an open-drain output. All other PORTA pins have TTL input levels and full CMOS output drivers. The TRISA register controls the direction of the RA pins even when they are being used as analog inputs. The user must ensure the bits in the TRISA register are maintained set when using them as analog inputs.

5.2 PORTB and the TRISB Register
PORTB is an 8-bit wide, bidirectional port. The corresponding data direction register is TRISB. Setting a TRISB bit (= 1) will make the corresponding PORTB pin an input (i.e., put the corresponding output driver in a high-impedance mode). Clearing a TRISB bit (= 0) will make the corresponding PORTB pin an output (i.e., put the contents of the output latch on the selected pin). Each of the PORTB pins has a weak internal pull-up. A single control bit can turn on all the pull-ups. This is performed by clearing bit RBPU (OPTION_REG<7>). The weak pull-up is automatically turned off when the port pin is configured as an output. The pull-ups are disabled on a Power-on Reset. PORTB pins are multiplexed with analog inputs. The operation of each pin is selected by clearing/setting the appropriate control bits in the ADCON1 register. Note: On a Power-on Reset, these pins are configured as analog inputs and read as 0. The interrupt-on-change feature is recommended for wake-up on key depression operation and operations where PORTB is only used for the interrupt-on-change feature. Polling of PORTB is not recommended while using the interrupt-on-change feature. This interrupt on mismatch feature, together with software configureable pull-ups on these four pins, allow easy interface to a keypad and make it possible for wake-up on key depression. Refer to the Application Note AN552, Implementing Wake-up on Key Stroke (DS00552). RB0/INT is an external interrupt input pin and is configured using the INTEDG bit (OPTION_REG<6>). RB0/INT is discussed in detail in Section 15.15.1 INT Interrupt. PORTB is multiplexed with several peripheral functions (see Table 5-3). PORTB pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers. When enabling peripheral functions, care should be taken in defining TRIS bits for each PORTB pin. Some peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an input. Since the TRIS bit override is in effect while the peripheral is enabled, read-modifywrite instructions (BSF, BCF, XORWF) with TRISB as destination should be avoided. The user should refer to the corresponding peripheral section for the correct TRIS bit settings.
Four of the PORTB pins (RB7:RB4) have an interrupton-change feature. Only pins configured as inputs can cause this interrupt to occur (i.e., any RB7:RB4 pin configured as an output is excluded from the interrupton-change comparison). The input pins (of RB7:RB4) are compared with the old value latched on the last read of PORTB. The mismatch outputs of RB7:RB4 are ORed together to generate the RB port change interrupt with flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>). This interrupt can wake the device from Sleep. The user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the interrupt in the following manner: a) b) Any read or write of PORTB. This will end the mismatch condition. Clear flag bit RBIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit RBIF. Reading PORTB will end the mismatch condition and allow flag bit RBIF to be cleared.

Some peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an output, while other peripherals override the TRIS bit to make a pin an input. Since the TRIS bit override is in effect while the peripheral is enabled, read-modifywrite instructions (BSF, BCF, XORWF) with TRISC as destination should be avoided. The user should refer to the corresponding peripheral section for the correct TRIS bit settings and to Section 16.1 Read-ModifyWrite Operations for additional information on read-modify-write operations.

5.5 PORTE and TRISE Register
FIGURE 5-19:
This section is not applicable to the PIC16F737 or PIC16F767. PORTE has four pins, RE0/RD/AN5, RE1/WR/AN6, RE2/CS/AN7 and MCLR/VPP/RE3, which are individually configureable as inputs or outputs. These pins have Schmitt Trigger input buffers. RE3 is only available as an input if MCLRE is 0 in Configuration Word 1. I/O PORTE becomes control inputs for the microprocessor port when bit, PSPMODE (TRISE<4>), is set. In this mode, the user must make sure that the TRISE<2:0> bits are set (pins are configured as digital inputs). Ensure ADCON1 is configured for digital I/O. In this mode, the input buffers are TTL. Register 5-1 shows the TRISE register, which also controls the Parallel Slave Port operation. PORTE pins are multiplexed with analog inputs. When selected as an analog input, these pins will read as 0s. TRISE controls the direction of the RE pins, even when they are being used as analog inputs. The user must make sure to keep the pins configured as inputs when using them as analog inputs. Note: On a Power-on Reset, these pins are configured as analog inputs and read as 0.

5.6 Parallel Slave Port
The Parallel Slave Port (PSP) is not implemented on the PIC16F737 or PIC16F767. PORTD operates as an 8-bit wide Parallel Slave Port or microprocessor port when control bit, PSPMODE (TRISE<4>), is set. In Slave mode, it is asynchronously readable and writable by an external system using the read control input pin RE0/RD/AN5, the write control input pin RE1/WR/AN6 and the chip select control input pin RE2/CS/AN7. The PSP can directly interface to an 8-bit microprocessor data bus. The external microprocessor can read or write the PORTD latch as an 8-bit latch. Setting bit PSPMODE enables port pin RE0/RD/AN5 to be the RD input, RE1/WR/AN6 to be the WR input and RE2/CS/AN7 to be the CS (Chip Select) input. For this functionality, the corresponding data direction bits of the TRISE register (TRISE<2:0>) must be configured as inputs (i.e., set). The A/D port configuration bits, PCFG3:PCFG0 (ADCON1<3:0>), must be set to configure pins RE2:RE0 as digital I/O. There are actually two 8-bit latches, one for data output (external reads) and one for data input (external writes). The firmware writes 8-bit data to the PORTD output data latch and reads data from the PORTD input data latch (note that they have the same address). In this mode, the TRISD register is ignored since the external device is controlling the direction of data flow. An external write to the PSP occurs when the CS and WR lines are both detected low. Firmware can read the actual data on the PORTD pins during this time. When either the CS or WR lines become high (level triggered), the data on the PORTD pins is latched and the Input Buffer Full (IBF) status flag bit (TRISE<7>) and interrupt flag bit, PSPIF (PIR1<7>), are set on the Q4 clock cycle following the next Q2 cycle to signal the write is complete (Figure 5-21). Firmware clears the IBF flag by reading the latched PORTD data and clears the PSPIF bit. The Input Buffer Overflow (IBOV) status flag bit (TRISE<5>) is set if an external write to the PSP occurs while the IBF flag is set from a previous external write. The previous PORTD data is overwritten with the new data. IBOV is cleared by reading PORTD and clearing IBOV. A read from the PSP occurs when both the CS and RD lines are detected low. The data in the PORTD output latch is output to the PORTD pins. The Output Buffer Full (OBF) status flag bit (TRISE<6>) is cleared immediately (Figure 5-22), indicating that the PORTD latch is being read or has been read by the external bus. If firmware writes new data to the output latch during this time, it is immediately output to the PORTD pins but OBF will remain cleared. When either the CS or RD pins are detected high, the PORTD outputs are disabled and the interrupt flag bit PSPIF is set on the Q4 clock cycle following the next Q2 cycle, indicating that the read is complete. OBF remains low until firmware writes new data to PORTD. When not in PSP mode, the IBF and OBF bits are held clear. Flag bit IBOV remains unchanged. The PSPIF bit must be cleared by the user in firmware; the interrupt can be disabled by clearing the interrupt enable bit, PSPIE (PIE1<7>).

6.0 TIMER0 MODULE
The Timer0 module timer/counter has the following features: 8-bit timer/counter Readable and writable 8-bit software programmable prescaler Internal or external clock select Interrupt on overflow from FFh to 00h Edge select for external clock Counter mode is selected by setting bit, T0CS (OPTION_REG<5>). In Counter mode, Timer0 will increment, either on every rising or falling edge of pin RA4/T0CKI/C1OUT. The incrementing edge is determined by the Timer0 Source Edge Select bit, T0SE (OPTION_REG<4>). Clearing bit T0SE selects the rising edge. Restrictions on the external clock input are discussed in detail in Section 6.3 Using Timer0 With an External Clock. The prescaler is mutually, exclusively shared between the Timer0 module and the Watchdog Timer. The prescaler is not readable or writable. Section 6.4 Prescaler details the operation of the prescaler.
Additional information on the Timer0 module is available in the PICmicro Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual (DS33023). Figure 6-1 is a block diagram of the Timer0 module and the prescaler shared with the WDT.
6.2
Timer0 Interrupt
6.1
Timer0 Operation
Timer0 operation is controlled through the OPTION_REG register (see Register 2-2). Timer mode is selected by clearing bit T0CS (OPTION_REG<5>). In Timer mode, the Timer0 module will increment every instruction cycle (without prescaler). If the TMR0 register is written, the increment is inhibited for the following two instruction cycles. The user can work around this by writing an adjusted value to the TMR0 register.
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0 register overflows from FFh to 00h. This overflow sets bit TMR0IF (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be masked by clearing bit TMR0IE (INTCON<5>). Bit TMR0IF must be cleared in software by the Timer0 module Interrupt Service Routine before re-enabling this interrupt. The TMR0 interrupt cannot awaken the processor from Sleep since the timer is shut-off during Sleep.

6.3 Using Timer0 With an External Clock
Note: Although the prescaler can be assigned to either the WDT or Timer0, but not both, a new divide counter is implemented in the WDT circuit to give multiple WDT time-out selections. This allows TMR0 and WDT to each have their own scaler. Refer to Section 15.17 Watchdog Timer (WDT) for further details.
When no prescaler is used, the external clock input is the same as the prescaler output. The synchronization of T0CKI with the internal phase clocks is accomplished by sampling the prescaler output on the Q2 and Q4 cycles of the internal phase clocks. Therefore, it is necessary for T0CKI to be high for at least 2 TOSC (and a small RC delay of 20 ns) and low for at least 2 TOSC (and a small RC delay of 20 ns). Refer to the electrical specification of the desired device.
The PSA and PS2:PS0 bits (OPTION_REG<3:0>) determine the prescaler assignment and prescale ratio. When assigned to the Timer0 module, all instructions writing to the TMR0 register (e.g., CLRF 1, MOVWF 1, BSF 1,x....etc.) will clear the prescaler. When assigned to WDT, a CLRWDT instruction will clear the prescaler along with the Watchdog Timer. The prescaler is not readable or writable. Note: Writing to TMR0 when the prescaler is assigned to Timer0 will clear the prescaler count but will not change the prescaler assignment.
6.4
Prescaler
There is only one prescaler available, which is mutually exclusively shared between the Timer0 module and the Watchdog Timer. A prescaler assignment for the Timer0 module means that the prescaler cannot be used by the Watchdog Timer and vice versa. This prescaler is not readable or writable (see Figure 6-1).

7.0 TIMER1 MODULE
7.1 Timer1 Operation
The Timer1 module is a 16-bit timer/counter consisting of two 8-bit registers (TMR1H and TMR1L), which are readable and writable. The TMR1 register pair (TMR1H:TMR1L) increments from 0000h to FFFFh and rolls over to 0000h. The TMR1 interrupt, if enabled, is generated on overflow which is latched in interrupt flag bit, TMR1IF (PIR1<0>). This interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing TMR1 interrupt enable bit, TMR1IE (PIE1<0>). The Timer1 oscillator can be used as a secondary clock source in low-power modes. When the T1RUN bit is set along with SCS<1:0> = 01, the Timer1 oscillator is providing the system clock. If the Fail-Safe Clock Monitor is enabled and the Timer1 oscillator fails while providing the system clock, polling the T1RUN bit will indicate whether the clock is being provided by the Timer1 oscillator or another source. Timer1 can also be used to provide Real-Time Clock (RTC) functionality to applications with only a minimal addition of external components and code overhead. Timer1 can operate in one of three modes: as a Timer as a Synchronous Counter as an Asynchronous Counter The operating mode is determined by the clock select bit, TMR1CS (T1CON<1>). In Timer mode, Timer1 increments every instruction cycle. In Counter mode, it increments on every rising edge of the external clock input. Timer1 can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing control bit, TMR1ON (T1CON<0>). Timer1 also has an internal Reset input. This Reset can be generated by the CCP1 module as the special event trigger (see Section 9.4 Capture Mode). Register 7-1 shows the Timer1 Control register. When the Timer1 oscillator is enabled (T1OSCEN is set), the RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI and RC1/T1OSI/CCP2 pins become inputs. That is, the TRISB<7:6> value is ignored and these pins read as 0. Additional information on timer modules is available in the PICmicro Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual (DS33023).

7.2 Timer1 Operation in Timer Mode 7.4
Timer mode is selected by clearing the TMR1CS (T1CON<1>) bit. In this mode, the input clock to the timer is FOSC/4. The synchronize control bit, T1SYNC (T1CON<2>), has no effect since the internal clock is always in sync.
Timer1 Operation in Synchronized Counter Mode
Counter mode is selected by setting bit TMR1CS. In this mode, the timer increments on every rising edge of clock input on pin RC1/T1OSI/CCP2, when bit T1OSCEN is set, or on pin RC0/T1OSO/T1CKI, when bit T1OSCEN is cleared. If T1SYNC is cleared, then the external clock input is synchronized with internal phase clocks. The synchronization is done after the prescaler stage. The prescaler stage is an asynchronous ripple counter. In this configuration during Sleep mode, Timer1 will not increment, even if the external clock is present since the synchronization circuit is shut-off. The prescaler, however, will continue to increment.
7.3
Timer1 Counter Operation
Timer1 may operate in Asynchronous or Synchronous mode depending on the setting of the TMR1CS bit. When Timer1 is being incremented via an external source, increments occur on a rising edge. After Timer1 is enabled in Counter mode, the module must first have a falling edge before the counter begins to increment.

7.5 Timer1 Operation in Asynchronous Counter Mode
7.5.1 READING AND WRITING TIMER1 IN ASYNCHRONOUS COUNTER MODE
Reading TMR1H or TMR1L while the timer is running from an external asynchronous clock will ensure a valid read (taken care of in hardware). However, the user should keep in mind that reading the 16-bit timer in two 8-bit values itself, poses certain problems, since the timer may overflow between the reads. For writes, it is recommended that the user simply stop the timer and write the desired values. A write contention may occur by writing to the Timer registers while the register is incrementing. This may produce an unpredictable value in the Timer register. Reading the 16-bit value requires some care. The example codes provided in Example 7-1 and Example 7-2 demonstrate how to write to and read Timer1 while it is running in Asynchronous mode.
If control bit, T1SYNC (T1CON<2>), is set, the external clock input is not synchronized. The timer continues to increment asynchronous to the internal phase clocks. The timer will continue to run during Sleep and can generate an interrupt on overflow that will wake-up the processor. However, special precautions in software are needed to read/write the timer (Section 7.5.1 Reading and Writing Timer1 in Asynchronous Counter Mode). In Asynchronous Counter mode, Timer1 cannot be used as a time base for capture or compare operations.

7.6 Timer1 Oscillator 7.7
A crystal oscillator circuit is built between pins T1OSI (input) and T1OSO (amplifier output). It is enabled by setting control bit, T1OSCEN (T1CON<3>). The oscillator is a low-power oscillator, rated up to 32.768 kHz. It will continue to run during all power managed modes. It is primarily intended for a 32 kHz crystal. The circuit for a typical LP oscillator is shown in Figure 7-3. Table 7-1 shows the capacitor selection for the Timer1 oscillator. The user must provide a software time delay to ensure proper oscillator start-up.
Timer1 Oscillator Layout Considerations
The Timer1 oscillator circuit draws very little power during operation. Due to the low-power nature of the oscillator, it may also be sensitive to rapidly changing signals in close proximity. The oscillator circuit, shown in Figure 7-3, should be located as close as possible to the microcontroller. There should be no circuits passing within the oscillator circuit boundaries other than VSS or VDD. If a high-speed circuit must be located near the oscillator, a grounded guard ring around the oscillator circuit, as shown in Figure 7-4, may be helpful when used on a single sided PCB or in addition to a ground plane.

Resetting Timer1 Using a CCP Trigger Output
Note 1: Microchip suggests this value as a starting point in validating the oscillator circuit. 2: Higher capacitance increases the stability of the oscillator but also increases the start-up time. 3: Since each resonator/crystal has its own characteristics, the user should consult the resonator/crystal manufacturer for appropriate values of external components. 4: Capacitor values are for design guidance only.
If the CCP1 module is configured in Compare mode to generate a special event trigger" signal (CCP1M3:CCP1M0 = 1011), the signal will reset Timer1 and start an A/D conversion (if the A/D module is enabled). Note: The special event triggers from the CCP1 module will not set interrupt flag bit, TMR1IF (PIR1<0>).
Timer1 must be configured for either Timer or Synchronized Counter mode to take advantage of this feature. If Timer1 is running in Asynchronous Counter mode, this Reset operation may not work. In the event that a write to Timer1 coincides with a special event trigger from CCP1, the write will take precedence. In this mode of operation, the CCPR1H:CCPR1L register pair effectively becomes the period register for Timer1.

7.9 Resetting Timer1 Register Pair (TMR1H, TMR1L)
battery or supercapacitor as a power source, it can completely eliminate the need for a separate RTC device and battery backup. The application code routine, RTCisr, shown in Example 7-3, demonstrates a simple method to increment a counter at one-second intervals using an Interrupt Service Routine. Incrementing the TMR1 register pair to overflow, triggers the interrupt and calls the routine which increments the seconds counter by one; additional counters for minutes and hours are incremented as the previous counter overflows. Since the register pair is 16 bits wide, counting up to overflow the register directly from a 32.768 kHz clock would take 2 seconds. To force the overflow at the required one-second intervals, it is necessary to preload it; the simplest method is to set the MSbit of TMR1H with a BSF instruction. Note that the TMR1L register is never preloaded or altered; doing so may introduce cumulative error over many cycles. For this method to be accurate, Timer1 must operate in Asynchronous mode and the Timer1 overflow interrupt must be enabled (PIE1<0> = 1) as shown in the routine, RTCinit. The Timer1 oscillator must also be enabled and running at all times. TMR1H and TMR1L registers are not reset to 00h on a POR, or any other Reset, except by the CCP1 special event triggers. T1CON register is reset to 00h on a Power-on Reset or a Brown-out Reset, which shuts off the timer and leaves a 1:1 prescale. In all other Resets, the register is unaffected.

Timer1 Prescaler
The prescaler counter is cleared on writes to the TMR1H or TMR1L registers.

Using Timer1 as a Real-Time Clock
Adding an external LP oscillator to Timer1 (such as the one described in Section 7.6 Timer1 Oscillator) gives users the option to include RTC functionality in their applications. This is accomplished with an inexpensive watch crystal to provide an accurate time base and several lines of application code to calculate the time. When operating in Sleep mode and using a

8.0 TIMER2 MODULE
8.1 Timer2 Prescaler and Postscaler
Timer2 is an 8-bit timer with a prescaler and a postscaler. It can be used as the PWM time base for the PWM mode of the CCP module(s). The TMR2 register is readable and writable and is cleared on any device Reset. The input clock (FOSC/4) has a prescale option of 1:1, 1:4 or 1:16, selected by control bits, T2CKPS1:T2CKPS0 (T2CON<1:0>). The Timer2 module has an 8-bit period register, PR2. Timer2 increments from 00h until it matches PR2 and then resets to 00h on the next increment cycle. PR2 is a readable and writable register. The PR2 register is initialized to FFh upon Reset. The match output of TMR2 goes through a 4-bit postscaler (which gives a 1:1 to 1:16 scaling inclusive) to generate a TMR2 interrupt, latched in flag bit, TMR2IF (PIR1<1>). Timer2 can be shut-off by clearing control bit, TMR2ON (T2CON<2>), to minimize power consumption. Register 8-1 shows the Timer2 Control register. Additional information on timer modules is available in the PICmicro Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual (DS33023).
Postscaler 1:1 to 1:16 4 T2OUTPS3: T2OUTPS0 Note 1: TMR2 register output can be software selected by the SSP module as a baud clock. EQ
The prescaler and postscaler counters are cleared when any of the following occurs: a write to the TMR2 register a write to the T2CON register any device Reset (POR, MCLR Reset, WDT Reset or BOR) TMR2 is not cleared when T2CON is written.

Output of TMR2

9.2 CCP2 Module
Capture/Compare/PWM Register 1 (CCPR1) is comprised of two 8-bit registers: CCPR1L (low byte) and CCPR1H (high byte). The CCP2CON register controls the operation of CCP2. The special event trigger is generated by a compare match; it will clear both TMR1H and TMR1L registers and start an A/D conversion (if the A/D module is enabled). Additional information on CCP modules is available in the PICmicro Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual (DS33023) and in Application Note AN594, Using the CCP Module(s) (DS00594).
Each Capture/Compare/PWM (CCP) module contains a 16-bit register which can operate as a: 16-bit Capture register 16-bit Compare register PWM Master/Slave Duty Cycle register The CCP1, CCP2 and CCP3 modules are identical in operation, with the exception being the operation of the special event trigger. Table 9-1 and Table 9-2 show the resources and interactions of the CCP module(s). In the following sections, the operation of a CCP module is described with respect to CCP1. CCP2 and CCP3 operate the same as CCP1, except where noted.

9.4 Capture Mode
9.4.4 CCP PRESCALER
In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the 16-bit value of the TMR1 register when an event occurs on pin RC2/CCP1. An event is defined as one of the following and is configured by CCPxCON<3:0>: Every falling edge Every rising edge Every 4th rising edge Every 16th rising edge There are four prescaler settings specified by bits, CCP1M3:CCP1M0. Whenever the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP module is not in Capture mode, the prescaler counter is cleared. Any Reset will clear the prescaler counter. Switching from one capture prescaler to another may generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will not be cleared, therefore, the first capture may be from a non-zero prescaler. Example 9-1 shows the recommended method for switching between capture prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler counter and will not generate the false interrupt.
An event is selected by control bits, CCP1M3:CCP1M0 (CCP1CON<3:0>). When a capture is made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCP1IF (PIR1<2>), is set. The interrupt flag must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs before the value in register CCPR1 is read, the old captured value is overwritten by the new captured value.

The user must configure the RC2/CCP1 pin as an output by clearing the TRISC<2> bit. Note: Clearing the CCP1CON register will force the RC2/CCP1 compare output latch to the default low level. This is not the PORTC I/O data latch. In this mode, an internal hardware trigger is generated which may be used to initiate an action. The special event trigger output of CCP1 resets the TMR1 register pair. This allows the CCPR1 register to effectively be a 16-bit programmable period register for Timer1. The special event trigger output of CCP2 resets the TMR1 register pair and starts an A/D conversion (if the A/D module is enabled). Note: The special event trigger from the CCP1 and CCP2 modules will not set interrupt flag bit, TMR1IF (PIR1<0>).

Timer1 must be running in Timer mode or Synchronized Counter mode if the CCP module is using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the compare operation may not work.

9.6 PWM Mode (PWM)
9.6.1 PWM PERIOD
In Pulse Width Modulation mode, the CCPx pin produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since the CCP1 pin is multiplexed with the PORTC data latch, the TRISC<2> bit must be cleared to make the CCP1 pin an output. Note: Clearing the CCP1CON register will force the CCP1 PWM output latch to the default low level. This is not the PORTC I/O data latch. The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2 register. The PWM period can be calculated using the following formula: PWM Period = [(PR2) + 1] 4 TOSC (TMR2 Prescale Value) PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period]. When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events occur on the next increment cycle: TMR2 is cleared The CCP1 pin is set (exception: if PWM duty cycle = 0%, the CCP1 pin will not be set) The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPR1L into CCPR1H Note: The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 9.4 Capture Mode) is not used in the determination of the PWM frequency. The postscaler could be used to have a servo update rate at a different frequency than the PWM output.
Figure 9-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the CCP module in PWM mode. For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up the CCP module for PWM operation, see Section 9.6.3 Setup for PWM Operation.

PWM DUTY CYCLE
Comparator
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the CCPR1L register and to the CCP1CON<5:4> bits. Up to 10-bit resolution is available. The CCPR1L contains the eight MSbs and the CCP1CON<5:4> contains the two LSbs. This 10-bit value is represented by CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>. The following equation is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle in time: PWM Duty Cycle = (CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) TOSC (TMR2 Prescale Value) CCPR1L and CCP1CON<5:4> can be written to at any time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into CCPR1H until after a match between PR2 and TMR2 occurs (i.e., the period is complete). In PWM mode, CCPR1H is a read-only register. The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This double-buffering is essential for glitchless PWM operation. When the CCPR1H and 2-bit latch match TMR2, concatenated with an internal 2-bit Q clock or 2 bits of the TMR2 prescaler, the CCP1 pin is cleared. The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM frequency is given by the formula: FOSC log FPWM Resolution = bits log(2)
PR2
Note 1: The 8-bit timer is concatenated with the 2-bit internal Q clock or the 2 bits of the prescaler to create the 10-bit time base.
A PWM output (Figure 9-4) has a time base (period) and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle). The frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the period (1/period).

Note:
If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than the PWM period, the CCP1 pin will not be cleared.

10.1
The Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) module is a serial interface, useful for communicating with other peripheral or microcontroller devices. These peripheral devices may be serial EEPROMs, shift registers, display drivers, A/D converters, etc. The MSSP module can operate in one of two modes: Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) - Full Master mode - Slave mode (with general address call) The I2C interface supports the following modes in hardware: Master mode Multi-Master mode Slave mode

Control Registers
RC3/ SCK/ SCL
The MSSP module has three associated registers. These include a status register (SSPSTAT) and two control registers (SSPCON and SSPCON2). The use of these registers and their individual configuration bits differ significantly, depending on whether the MSSP module is operated in SPI or I2C mode. Additional details are provided under the individual sections.

SPI Mode
Note: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS pin control enabled (SSPCON<3:0> = 0100), the state of the SS pin can affect the state read back from the TRISC<5> bit. The Peripheral OE signal, from the SSP module into PORTC, controls the state that is read back from the TRISC<5> bit (see Section 5.3 PORTC and the TRISC Register for information on PORTC). If Read-Modify-Write instructions, such as BSF are performed on the TRISC register while the SS pin is high, this will cause the TRISC<5> bit to be set, thus disabling the SDO output.
The SPI mode allows 8 bits of data to be synchronously transmitted and received simultaneously. All four modes of SPI are supported. To accomplish communication, typically three pins are used: Serial Data Out (SDO) RC5/SDO Serial Data In (SDI) RC4/SDI/SDA Serial Clock (SCK) RC3/SCK/SCL Additionally, a fourth pin may be used when in a Slave mode of operation: Slave Select (SS) RA5/AN4/LVDIN/SS/C2OUT Figure 10-1 shows the block diagram of the MSSP module when operating in SPI mode.

10.3.1 REGISTERS
The MSSP module has four registers for SPI mode operation. These are: MSSP Control Register (SSPCON) MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT) Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF) MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) Not directly accessible SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes are written to or read from. In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF and the SSPIF interrupt is set. During transmission, the SSPBUF is not doublebuffered. A write to SSPBUF will write to both SSPBUF and SSPSR.
SSPCON and SSPSTAT are the control and status registers in SPI mode operation. The SSPCON register is readable and writable. The lower 6 bits of the SSPSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits of the SSPSTAT are read/write.

10.3.2 OPERATION
When initializing the SPI, several options need to be specified. This is done by programming the appropriate control bits (SSPCON<5:0> and SSPSTAT<7:6>). These control bits allow the following to be specified: Master mode (SCK is the clock output) Slave mode (SCK is the clock input) Clock Polarity (Idle state of SCK) Data Input Sample Phase (middle or end of data output time) Clock Edge (output data on rising/falling edge of SCK) Clock Rate (Master mode only) Slave Select mode (Slave mode only) The MSSP consists of a transmit/receive shift register (SSPSR) and a buffer register (SSPBUF). The SSPSR shifts the data in and out of the device, MSb first. The SSPBUF holds the data that was written to the SSPSR until the received data is ready. Once the 8 bits of data have been received, that byte is moved to the SSPBUF register. Then, the Buffer Full detect bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), and the interrupt flag bit, SSPIF, are set. This double-buffering of the received data (SSPBUF) allows the next byte to start reception before reading the data that was just received. Any write to the SSPBUF register during transmission/reception of data will be ignored and the write collision detect bit, WCOL (SSPCON<7>), will be set. User software must clear the WCOL bit so that it can be determined if the following write(s) to the SSPBUF register completed successfully. When the application software is expecting to receive valid data, the SSPBUF should be read before the next byte of data to transfer is written to the SSPBUF. Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), indicates when SSPBUF has been loaded with the received data (transmission is complete). When the SSPBUF is read, the BF bit is cleared. This data may be irrelevant if the SPI is only a transmitter. Generally, the MSSP interrupt is used to determine when the transmission/reception has completed. The SSPBUF must be read and/or written. If the interrupt method is not going to be used, then software polling can be done to ensure that a write collision does not occur. Example 10-1 shows the loading of the SSPBUF (SSPSR) for data transmission. The SSPSR is not directly readable or writable, and can only be accessed by addressing the SSPBUF register. Additionally, the MSSP Status register (SSPSTAT) indicates the various status conditions.

10.3.3 ENABLING SPI I/O 10.3.4 TYPICAL CONNECTION
To enable the serial port, SSP Enable bit, SSPEN (SSPCON<5>), must be set. To reset or reconfigure SPI mode, clear the SSPEN bit, reinitialize the SSPCON registers and then set the SSPEN bit. This configures the SDI, SDO, SCK and SS pins as serial port pins. For the pins to behave as the serial port function, some must have their data direction bits (in the TRIS register) appropriately programmed. That is: SDI is automatically controlled by the SPI module SDO must have TRISC<5> bit cleared SCK (Master mode) must have TRISC<3> bit cleared SCK (Slave mode) must have TRISC<3> bit set SS must have TRISA<5> bit set Any serial port function that is not desired may be overridden by programming the corresponding data direction (TRIS) register to the opposite value. Figure 10-2 shows a typical connection between two microcontrollers. The master controller (Processor 1) initiates the data transfer by sending the SCK signal. Data is shifted out of both shift registers on their programmed clock edge and latched on the opposite edge of the clock. Both processors should be programmed to the same Clock Polarity (CKP), then both controllers would send and receive data at the same time. Whether the data is meaningful (or dummy data) depends on the application software. This leads to three scenarios for data transmission: Master sends data Slave sends dummy data Master sends data Slave sends data Master sends dummy data Slave sends data

10.3.5 MASTER MODE
The master can initiate the data transfer at any time because it controls the SCK. The master determines when the slave (Processor 2, Figure 10-2) is to broadcast data by the software protocol. In Master mode, the data is transmitted/received as soon as the SSPBUF register is written to. If the SPI is only going to receive, the SDO output could be disabled (programmed as an input). The SSPSR register will continue to shift in the signal present on the SDI pin at the programmed clock rate. As each byte is received, it will be loaded into the SSPBUF register as if a normal received byte (interrupts and status bits appropriately set). This could be useful in receiver applications as a Line Activity Monitor mode. The clock polarity is selected by appropriately programming the CKP bit (SSPCON<4>). This then, would give waveforms for SPI communication as shown in Figure 10-3, Figure 10-5 and Figure 10-6, where the MSB is transmitted first. In Master mode, the SPI clock rate (bit rate) is user programmable to be one of the following: FOSC/4 (or TCY) FOSC/16 (or 4 TCY) FOSC/64 (or 16 TCY) Timer2 output/2
This allows a maximum data rate (at 40 MHz) of 10.00 Mbps. Figure 10-3 shows the waveforms for Master mode. When the CKE bit is set, the SDO data is valid before there is a clock edge on SCK. The change of the input sample is shown based on the state of the SMP bit. The time when the SSPBUF is loaded with the received data is shown.

10.3.6 SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the data is transmitted and received as the external clock pulses appear on SCK. When the last bit is latched, the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set. While in Slave mode, the external clock is supplied by the external clock source on the SCK pin. This external clock must meet the minimum high and low times, as specified in the electrical specifications. While in Sleep mode, the slave can transmit/receive data. When a byte is received, the device will wake-up from Sleep. even if in the middle of a transmitted byte and becomes a floating output. External pull-up/pull-down resistors may be desirable, depending on the application. Note 1: When the SPI is in Slave mode with SS pin control enabled (SSPCON<3:0> = 0100), the SPI module will reset if the SS pin is set to VDD. 2: If the SPI is used in Slave mode with CKE set, then the SS pin control must be enabled. When the SPI module resets, the bit counter is forced to 0. This can be done by either forcing the SS pin to a high level or clearing the SSPEN bit. To emulate two-wire communication, the SDO pin can be connected to the SDI pin. When the SPI needs to operate as a receiver, the SDO pin can be configured as an input. This disables transmissions from the SDO. The SDI can always be left as an input (SDI function) since it cannot create a bus conflict.
10.3.7
SLAVE SELECT SYNCHRONIZATION
The SS pin allows a Synchronous Slave mode. The SPI must be in Slave mode with SS pin control enabled (SSPCON<3:0> = 4h). The pin must not be driven low for the SS pin to function as an input. The data latch must be high. When the SS pin is low, transmission and reception are enabled and the SDO pin is driven. When the SS pin goes high, the SDO pin is no longer driven,

10.3.8 SLEEP OPERATION 10.3.10 BUS MODE COMPATIBILITY
In Master mode, all module clocks are halted and the transmission/reception will remain in that state until the device wakes from Sleep. After the device returns to normal mode, the module will continue to transmit/ receive data. In Slave mode, the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift register operates asynchronously to the device. This allows the device to be placed in Sleep mode and data to be shifted into the SPI Transmit/Receive Shift register. When all 8 bits have been received, the MSSP interrupt flag bit will be set and if enabled, will wake the device from Sleep. Table 10-1 shows the compatibility between the standard SPI modes and the states of the CKP and CKE control bits.

10.4 I2C Mode
10.4.1 REGISTERS
The MSSP module in I 2C mode fully implements all master and slave functions (including general call support) and provides interrupts on Start and Stop bits in hardware to determine a free bus (multi-master function). The MSSP module implements the standard mode specifications, as well as 7-bit and 10-bit addressing. Two pins are used for data transfer: Serial clock (SCL) RC3/SCK/SCL Serial data (SDA) RC4/SDI/SDA The user must configure these pins as inputs or outputs through the TRISC<4:3> bits. The MSSP module has six registers for I2C operation. These are: MSSP Control Register (SSPCON) MSSP Control Register 2 (SSPCON2) MSSP Status Register (SSPSTAT) Serial Receive/Transmit Buffer (SSPBUF) MSSP Shift Register (SSPSR) Not directly accessible MSSP Address Register (SSPADD) SSPCON, SSPCON2 and SSPSTAT are the control and status registers in I2C mode operation. The SSPCON and SSPCON2 registers are readable and writable. The lower 6 bits of the SSPSTAT are read-only. The upper two bits of the SSPSTAT are read/write. SSPSR is the shift register used for shifting data in or out. SSPBUF is the buffer register to which data bytes are written to or read from. SSPADD register holds the slave device address when the SSP is configured in I2C Slave mode. When the SSP is configured in Master mode, the lower seven bits of SSPADD act as the baud rate generator reload value. In receive operations, SSPSR and SSPBUF together create a double-buffered receiver. When SSPSR receives a complete byte, it is transferred to SSPBUF and the SSPIF interrupt is set.

10.4.2 OPERATION 10.4.3.1 Addressing
The MSSP module functions are enabled by setting MSSP enable bit, SSPEN (SSPCON<5>). The SSPCON register allows control of the I 2C operation. Four mode selection bits (SSPCON<3:0>) allow one of the following I 2C modes to be selected: I2C Master mode, clock = Osc/4 (SSPADD + 1) I 2C Slave mode (7-bit address) I 2C Slave mode (10-bit address) I 2C Slave mode (7-bit address), with Start and Stop bit interrupts enabled I 2C Slave mode (10-bit address), with Start and Stop bit interrupts enabled I 2C Firmware Controlled Master mode, slave is Idle Once the MSSP module has been enabled, it waits for a Start condition to occur. Following the Start condition, the 8 bits are shifted into the SSPSR register. All incoming bits are sampled with the rising edge of the clock (SCL) line. The value of register SSPSR<7:1> is compared to the value of the SSPADD register. The address is compared on the falling edge of the eighth clock (SCL) pulse. If the addresses match and the BF and SSPOV bits are clear, the following events occur: 1. 2. 3. 4. The SSPSR register value is loaded into the SSPBUF register. The Buffer Full bit, BF, is set. An ACK pulse is generated. MSSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), is set (interrupt is generated if enabled) on the falling edge of the ninth SCL pulse.
Selection of any I 2C mode, with the SSPEN bit set, forces the SCL and SDA pins to be open-drain, provided these pins are programmed to inputs by setting the appropriate TRISC bits. To ensure proper operation of the module, pull-up resistors must be provided externally to the SCL and SDA pins.
10.4.3
SLAVE MODE
In Slave mode, the SCL and SDA pins must be configured as inputs (TRISC<4:3> set). The MSSP module will override the input state with the output data when required (slave-transmitter). The I 2C Slave mode hardware will always generate an interrupt on an address match. Through the mode select bits, the user can also choose to interrupt on Start and Stop bits. When an address is matched, or the data transfer after an address match is received, the hardware automatically will generate the Acknowledge (ACK) pulse and load the SSPBUF register with the received value currently in the SSPSR register. Any combination of the following conditions will cause the MSSP module not to give this ACK pulse: The Buffer Full bit, BF (SSPSTAT<0>), was set before the transfer was received. The overflow bit, SSPOV (SSPCON<6>), was set before the transfer was received. In this case, the SSPSR register value is not loaded into the SSPBUF, but bit SSPIF (PIR1<3>) is set. The BF bit is cleared by reading the SSPBUF register, while bit SSPOV is cleared through software. The SCL clock input must have a minimum high and low for proper operation. The high and low times of the I2C specification, as well as the requirement of the MSSP module, are shown in timing parameter #100 and parameter #101.
In 10-bit Address mode, two address bytes need to be received by the slave. The five Most Significant bits (MSbs) of the first address byte specify if this is a 10-bit address. Bit R/W (SSPSTAT<2>) must specify a write so the slave device will receive the second address byte. For a 10-bit address, the first byte would equal 11110 A9 A8 0, where A9 and A8 are the two MSbs of the address. The sequence of events for 10-bit address is as follows, with steps 7 through 9 for the slave-transmitter: 1. 2. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF, BF and bit UA (SSPSTAT<1>) are set). Update the SSPADD register with second (low) byte of address (clears bit UA and releases the SCL line). Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and clear flag bit SSPIF. Receive second (low) byte of address (bits SSPIF, BF and UA are set). Update the SSPADD register with the first (high) byte of address. If match releases SCL line, this will clear bit UA. Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and clear flag bit SSPIF. Receive Repeated Start condition. Receive first (high) byte of address (bits SSPIF and BF are set). Read the SSPBUF register (clears bit BF) and clear flag bit SSPIF.

10.4.3.2 Reception 10.4.3.3 Transmission
When the R/W bit of the address byte is clear and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT register is cleared. The received address is loaded into the SSPBUF register and the SDA line is held low (ACK). When the address byte overflow condition exists, then the no Acknowledge (ACK) pulse is given. An overflow condition is defined as either bit BF (SSPSTAT<0>) is set or bit SSPOV (SSPCON<6>) is set. An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer byte. Flag bit, SSPIF (PIR1<3>), must be cleared in software. The SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status of the byte. If SEN is enabled (SSPCON<0> = 1), RC3/SCK/SCL will be held low (clock stretch) following each data transfer. The clock must be released by setting bit, CKP (SSPCON<4>). See Section 10.4.4 Clock Stretching for more detail. When the R/W bit of the incoming address byte is set and an address match occurs, the R/W bit of the SSPSTAT register is set. The received address is loaded into the SSPBUF register. The ACK pulse will be sent on the ninth bit and pin RC3/SCK/SCL is held low regardless of SEN (see Section 10.4.4 Clock Stretching for more detail). By stretching the clock, the master will be unable to assert another clock pulse until the slave is done preparing the transmit data. The transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register, which also loads the SSPSR register. Then pin RC3/SCK/SCL should be enabled by setting bit CKP (SSPCON<4>). The eight data bits are shifted out on the falling edge of the SCL input. This ensures that the SDA signal is valid during the SCL high time (Figure 10-9). The ACK pulse from the master-receiver is latched on the rising edge of the ninth SCL input pulse. If the SDA line is high (not ACK), then the data transfer is complete. In this case, when the ACK is latched by the slave, the slave logic is reset (resets SSPSTAT register) and the slave monitors for another occurrence of the Start bit. If the SDA line was low (ACK), the next transmit data must be loaded into the SSPBUF register. Again, pin RC3/SCK/SCL must be enabled by setting bit CKP. An MSSP interrupt is generated for each data transfer byte. The SSPIF bit must be cleared in software and the SSPSTAT register is used to determine the status of the byte. The SSPIF bit is set on the falling edge of the ninth clock pulse.

10.4.4 CLOCK STRETCHING 10.4.4.3
Both 7-bit and 10-bit Slave modes implement automatic clock stretching during a transmit sequence. The SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) allows clock stretching to be enabled during receives. Setting SEN will cause the SCL pin to be held low at the end of each data receive sequence.
Clock Stretching for 7-bit Slave Transmit Mode
7-bit Slave Transmit mode implements clock stretching by clearing the CKP bit after the falling edge of the ninth clock, if the BF bit is clear. This occurs regardless of the state of the SEN bit. The users ISR must set the CKP bit before transmission is allowed to continue. By holding the SCL line low, the user has time to service the ISR and load the contents of the SSPBUF before the master device can initiate another transmit sequence (see Figure 10-9). Note 1: If the user loads the contents of SSPBUF, setting the BF bit before the falling edge of the ninth clock, the CKP bit will not be cleared and clock stretching will not occur. 2: The CKP bit can be set in software regardless of the state of the BF bit.
10.4.4.1
Clock Stretching for 7-bit Slave Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 7-bit Slave Receive mode, on the falling edge of the ninth clock, at the end of the ACK sequence if the BF bit is set, the CKP bit in the SSPCON register is automatically cleared, forcing the SCL output to be held low. The CKP being cleared to 0 will assert the SCL line low. The CKP bit must be set in the users ISR before reception is allowed to continue. By holding the SCL line low, the user has time to service the ISR and read the contents of the SSPBUF before the master device can initiate another receive sequence. This will prevent buffer overruns from occurring (see Figure 10-13). Note 1: If the user reads the contents of the SSPBUF before the falling edge of the ninth clock, thus clearing the BF bit, the CKP bit will not be cleared and clock stretching will not occur. 2: The CKP bit can be set in software regardless of the state of the BF bit. The user should be careful to clear the BF bit in the ISR before the next receive sequence in order to prevent an overflow condition.
10.4.4.4
Clock Stretching for 10-bit Slave Transmit Mode
In 10-bit Slave Transmit mode, clock stretching is controlled during the first two address sequences by the state of the UA bit, just as it is in 10-bit Slave Receive mode. The first two addresses are followed by a third address sequence, which contains the high order bits of the 10-bit address and the R/W bit set to 1. After the third address sequence is performed, the UA bit is not set, the module is now configured in Transmit mode and clock stretching is controlled by the BF flag as in 7-bit Slave Transmit mode (see Figure 10-11).
10.4.4.2
Clock Stretching for 10-bit Slave Receive Mode (SEN = 1)
In 10-bit Slave Receive mode during the address sequence, clock stretching automatically takes place but CKP is not cleared. During this time, if the UA bit is set after the ninth clock, clock stretching is initiated. The UA bit is set after receiving the upper byte of the 10-bit address and following the receive of the second byte of the 10-bit address, with the R/W bit cleared to 0. The release of the clock line occurs upon updating SSPADD. Clock stretching will occur on each data receive sequence as described in 7-bit mode. Note: If the user polls the UA bit and clears it by updating the SSPADD register before the falling edge of the ninth clock occurs and if the user hasnt cleared the BF bit by reading the SSPBUF register before that time, then the CKP bit will still NOT be asserted low. Clock stretching on the basis of the state of the BF bit only occurs during a data sequence, not an address sequence.

PIC16F7X7
10.4.4.5 Clock Synchronization and the CKP Bit
When the CKP bit is cleared, the SCL output is forced to 0; however, setting the CKP bit will not assert the SCL output low until the SCL output is already sampled low. Therefore, the CKP bit will not assert the SCL line until an external I2C master device has already asserted the SCL line. The SCL output will remain low until the CKP bit is set and all other devices on the I2C bus have deasserted SCL. This ensures that a write to the CKP bit will not violate the minimum high time requirement for SCL (see Figure 10-12).

10.4.5 GENERAL CALL ADDRESS SUPPORT
The addressing procedure for the I2C bus is such that the first byte after the Start condition usually determines which device will be the slave addressed by the master. The exception is the general call address, which can address all devices. When this address is used, all devices should, in theory, respond with an Acknowledge. The general call address is one of eight addresses reserved for specific purposes by the I2C protocol. It consists of all 0s with R/W = 0. The general call address is recognized when the General Call Enable bit (GCEN) is enabled (SSPCON2<7> set). Following a Start bit detect, 8 bits are shifted into the SSPSR and the address is compared against the SSPADD. It is also compared to the general call address and fixed in hardware. If the general call address matches, the SSPSR is transferred to the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is set (eighth bit) and on the falling edge of the ninth bit (ACK bit), the SSPIF interrupt flag bit is set. When the interrupt is serviced, the source for the interrupt can be checked by reading the contents of the SSPBUF. The value can be used to determine if the address was device specific or a general call address. In 10-bit mode, the SSPADD is required to be updated for the second half of the address to match and the UA bit is set (SSPSTAT<1>). If the general call address is sampled when the GCEN bit is set and while the slave is configured in 10-bit Address mode, then the second half of the address is not necessary, the UA bit will not be set and the slave will begin receiving data after the Acknowledge (Figure 10-15).

10.4.6 MASTER MODE
Note: Master mode is enabled by setting and clearing the appropriate SSPM bits in SSPCON and by setting the SSPEN bit. In Master mode, the SCL and SDA lines are manipulated by the MSSP hardware. Master mode of operation is supported by interrupt generation on the detection of the Start and Stop conditions. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I 2C bus may be taken when the P bit is set or the bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear. In Firmware Controlled Master mode, user code conducts all I 2C bus operations based on Start and Stop bit conditions. Once Master mode is enabled, the user has six options: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Assert a Start condition on SDA and SCL. Assert a Repeated Start condition on SDA and SCL. Write to the SSPBUF register, initiating transmission of data/address. Configure the I2C port to receive data. Generate an Acknowledge condition at the end of a received byte of data. Generate a Stop condition on SDA and SCL. The MSSP module, when configured in I2C Master mode, does not allow queueing of events. For instance, the user is not allowed to initiate a Start condition and immediately write the SSPBUF register to initiate transmission before the Start condition is complete. In this case, the SSPBUF will not be written to and the WCOL bit will be set, indicating that a write to the SSPBUF did not occur.
The following events will cause SSP Interrupt Flag bit, SSPIF, to be set (SSP interrupt if enabled): Start condition Stop condition Data transfer byte transmitted/received Acknowledge Transmit Repeated Start

10.4.6.1 I2C Master Mode Operation
A typical transmit sequence would go as follows: 1. The user generates a Start condition by setting the Start enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). 2. SSPIF is set. The MSSP module will wait the required Start time before any other operation takes place. 3. The user loads the SSPBUF with the slave address to transmit. 4. Address is shifted out the SDA pin until all 8 bits are transmitted. 5. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the slave device and writes its value into the SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>). 6. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the SSPIF bit. 7. The user loads the SSPBUF with eight bits of data. 8. Data is shifted out the SDA pin until all 8 bits are transmitted. 9. The MSSP module shifts in the ACK bit from the slave device and writes its value into the SSPCON2 register (SSPCON2<6>). 10. The MSSP module generates an interrupt at the end of the ninth clock cycle by setting the SSPIF bit. 11. The user generates a Stop condition by setting the Stop enable bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>). 12. Interrupt is generated once the Stop condition is complete. The master device generates all of the serial clock pulses and the Start and Stop conditions. A transfer is ended with a Stop condition or with a Repeated Start condition. Since the Repeated Start condition is also the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C bus will not be released. In Master Transmitter mode, serial data is output through SDA while SCL outputs the serial clock. The first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the receiving device (7 bits) and the Read/Write (R/W) bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be logic 0. Serial data is transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmitted, an Acknowledge bit is received. Start and Stop conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the end of a serial transfer. In Master Receive mode, the first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the transmitting device (7 bits) and the R/W bit. In this case, the R/W bit will be logic 1. Thus, the first byte transmitted is a 7-bit slave address followed by a 1 to indicate a receive bit. Serial data is received via SDA while SCL outputs the serial clock. Serial data is received 8 bits at a time. After each byte is received, an Acknowledge bit is transmitted. Start and Stop conditions indicate the beginning and end of transmission. The baud rate generator used for the SPI mode operation is used to set the SCL clock frequency for either 100 kHz, 400 kHz or 1 MHz I2C operation. See Section 10.4.7 Baud Rate Generator for more detail.

In I C Master mode, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG) reload value is placed in the lower 7 bits of the SSPADD register (Figure 10-17). When a write occurs to SSPBUF, the Baud Rate Generator will automatically begin counting. The BRG counts down to 0 and stops until another reload has taken place. The BRG count is decremented twice per instruction cycle (TCY) on the Q2 and Q4 clocks. In I2C Master mode, the BRG is reloaded automatically.
Once the given operation is complete (i.e., transmission of the last data bit is followed by ACK), the internal clock will automatically stop counting and the SCL pin will remain in its last state. Table 10-3 demonstrates clock rates based on instruction cycles and the BRG value loaded into SSPADD.

10.4.7.1 Clock Arbitration
Clock arbitration occurs when the master, during any receive, transmit or Repeated Start/Stop condition, deasserts the SCL pin (SCL allowed to float high). When the SCL pin is allowed to float high, the Baud Rate Generator (BRG) is suspended from counting until the SCL pin is actually sampled high. When the SCL pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and begins counting. This ensures that the SCL high time will always be at least one BRG rollover count in the event that the clock is held low by an external device (Figure 10-18).

10.4.8 I2C MASTER MODE START CONDITION TIMING 10.4.8.1 WCOL Status Flag
To initiate a Start condition, the user sets the Start Condition Enable bit, SEN (SSPCON2<0>). If the SDA and SCL pins are sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and starts its count. If SCL and SDA are both sampled high when the Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SDA pin is driven low. The action of the SDA being driven low while SCL is high is the Start condition and causes the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) to be set. Following this, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and resumes its count. When the Baud Rate Generator times out (TBRG), the SEN bit (SSPCON2<0>) will be automatically cleared by hardware, the Baud Rate Generator is suspended, leaving the SDA line held low and the Start condition is complete. Note: If at the beginning of the Start condition, the SDA and SCL pins are already sampled low, or if during the Start condition, the SCL line is sampled low before the SDA line is driven low, a bus collision occurs, the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF, is set, the Start condition is aborted and the I2C module is reset into its Idle state. If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Start sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesnt occur). Note: Because queueing of events is not allowed, writing to the lower 5 bits of SSPCON2 is disabled until the Start condition is complete.

10.4.9 I2C MASTER MODE REPEATED START CONDITION TIMING
A Repeated Start condition occurs when the RSEN bit (SSPCON2<1>) is programmed high and the I2C logic module is in the Idle state. When the RSEN bit is set, the SCL pin is asserted low. When the SCL pin is sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with the contents of SSPADD<5:0> and begins counting. The SDA pin is released (brought high) for one Baud Rate Generator count (TBRG). When the Baud Rate Generator times out, if SDA is sampled high, the SCL pin will be deasserted (brought high). When SCL is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded with the contents of SSPADD<6:0> and begins counting. SDA and SCL must be sampled high for one TBRG. This action is then followed by assertion of the SDA pin (SDA = 0) for one TBRG while SCL is high. Following this, the RSEN bit (SSPCON2<1>) will be automatically cleared and the Baud Rate Generator will not be reloaded, leaving the SDA pin held low. As soon as a Start condition is detected on the SDA and SCL pins, the S bit (SSPSTAT<3>) will be set. The SSPIF bit will not be set until the Baud Rate Generator has timed out. Note 1: If RSEN is programmed while any other event is in progress, it will not take effect. 2: A bus collision during the Repeated Start condition occurs if: SDA is sampled low when SCL goes from low-to-high. SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low. This may indicate that another master is attempting to transmit a data 1. Immediately following the SSPIF bit getting set, the user may write the SSPBUF with the 7-bit address in 7-bit mode or the default first address in 10-bit mode. After the first eight bits are transmitted and an ACK is received, the user may then transmit an additional eight bits of address (10-bit mode) or eight bits of data (7-bit mode).

WCOL Status Flag
If the user writes the SSPBUF when a Repeated Start sequence is in progress, the WCOL is set and the contents of the buffer are unchanged (the write doesnt occur).

10.4.10 I2C MASTER MODE TRANSMISSION 10.4.10.3 ACKSTAT Status Flag
Transmission of a data byte, a 7-bit address or the other half of a 10-bit address, is accomplished by simply writing a value to the SSPBUF register. This action will set the Buffer Full flag bit, BF, and allow the Baud Rate Generator to begin counting and start the next transmission. Each bit of address/data will be shifted out onto the SDA pin after the falling edge of SCL is asserted (see data hold time specification parameter #106). SCL is held low for one Baud Rate Generator rollover count (TBRG). Data should be valid before SCL is released high (see data setup time specification parameter #107). When the SCL pin is released high, it is held that way for TBRG. The data on the SDA pin must remain stable for that duration and some hold time after the next falling edge of SCL. After the eighth bit is shifted out (the falling edge of the eighth clock), the BF flag is cleared and the master releases SDA. This allows the slave device being addressed to respond with an ACK bit during the ninth bit time, if an address match occurred or if data was received properly. The status of ACK is written into the ACKDT bit on the falling edge of the ninth clock. If the master receives an Acknowledge, the Acknowledge Status bit, ACKSTAT, is cleared. If not, the bit is set. After the ninth clock, the SSPIF bit is set and the master clock (Baud Rate Generator) is suspended until the next data byte is loaded into the SSPBUF, leaving SCL low and SDA unchanged (Figure 10-21). After the write to the SSPBUF, each bit of address will be shifted out on the falling edge of SCL until all seven address bits and the R/W bit are completed. On the falling edge of the eighth clock, the master will deassert the SDA pin, allowing the slave to respond with an Acknowledge. On the falling edge of the ninth clock, the master will sample the SDA pin to see if the address was recognized by a slave. The status of the ACK bit is loaded into the ACKSTAT status bit (SSPCON2<6>). Following the falling edge of the ninth clock transmission of the address, the SSPIF is set, The BF flag Is cleared and the Baud Rate Generator is turned off until another write to the SSPBUF takes place, holding SCL low and allowing SDA to float. In Transmit mode, the ACKSTAT bit (SSPCON2<6>) is cleared when the slave has sent an Acknowledge (ACK = 0) and is set when the slave does not Acknowledge (ACK = 1). A slave sends an Acknowledge when it has recognized its address (including a general call) or when the slave has properly received its data.
10.4.11
I2C MASTER MODE RECEPTION
Master mode reception is enabled by programming the Receive Enable bit, RCEN (SSPCON2<3>). Note: The MSSP module must be in an Idle state before the RCEN bit is set or the RCEN bit will be disregarded.
The Baud Rate Generator begins counting and on each rollover, the state of the SCL pin changes (high-to-low/ low-to-high) and data is shifted into the SSPSR. After the falling edge of the eighth clock, the receive enable flag is automatically cleared, the contents of the SSPSR are loaded into the SSPBUF, the BF flag bit is set, the SSPIF flag bit is set and the Baud Rate Generator is suspended from counting, holding SCL low. The MSSP is now in Idle state, awaiting the next command. When the buffer is read by the CPU, the BF flag bit is automatically cleared. The user can then send an Acknowledge bit at the end of reception by setting the Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN (SSPCON2<4>).

10.4.12 ACKNOWLEDGE SEQUENCE TIMING 10.4.13 STOP CONDITION TIMING
An Acknowledge sequence is enabled by setting the Acknowledge Sequence Enable bit, ACKEN (SSPCON2<4>). When this bit is set, the SCL pin is pulled low and the contents of the Acknowledge data bit are presented on the SDA pin. If the user wishes to generate an Acknowledge, then the ACKDT bit should be cleared. If not, the user should set the ACKDT bit before starting an Acknowledge sequence. The Baud Rate Generator then counts for one rollover period (TBRG) and the SCL pin is deasserted (pulled high). When the SCL pin is sampled high (clock arbitration), the Baud Rate Generator counts for TBRG. The SCL pin is then pulled low. Following this, the ACKEN bit is automatically cleared, the Baud Rate Generator is turned off and the MSSP module then goes into Idle mode (Figure 10-23). A Stop bit is asserted on the SDA pin at the end of a receive/transmit by setting the Stop Sequence Enable bit, PEN (SSPCON2<2>). At the end of a receive/ transmit, the SCL line is held low after the falling edge of the ninth clock. When the PEN bit is set, the master will assert the SDA line low. When the SDA line is sampled low, the Baud Rate Generator is reloaded and counts down to 0. When the Baud Rate Generator times out, the SCL pin will be brought high and one TBRG (Baud Rate Generator rollover count) later, the SDA pin will be deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high while SCL is high, the P bit (SSPSTAT<4>) is set. A TBRG later, the PEN bit is cleared and the SSPIF bit is set (Figure 10-24).

A Reset disables the MSSP module and terminates the current transfer.
10.4.16
MULTI-MASTER MODE
In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the detection of the Start and Stop conditions allows the determination of when the bus is free. The Stop (P) and Start (S) bits are cleared from a Reset or when the MSSP module is disabled. Control of the I 2C bus may be taken when the P bit (SSPSTAT<4>) is set or the bus is Idle, with both the S and P bits clear. When the bus is busy, enabling the SSP interrupt will generate the interrupt when the Stop condition occurs. In multi-master operation, the SDA line must be monitored for arbitration to see if the signal level is at the expected output level. This check is performed in hardware with the result placed in the BCLIF bit. The states where arbitration can be lost are: Address Transfer Data Transfer A Start Condition A Repeated Start Condition An Acknowledge Condition
Multi-Master mode support is achieved by bus arbitration. When the master outputs address/data bits onto the SDA pin, arbitration takes place when the master outputs a 1 on SDA by letting SDA float high and another master asserts a 0. When the SCL pin floats high, data should be stable. If the expected data on SDA is a 1 and the data sampled on the SDA pin = 0, then a bus collision has taken place. The master will set the Bus Collision Interrupt Flag, BCLIF, and reset the I2C port to its Idle state (Figure 10-25). If a transmit was in progress when the bus collision occurred, the transmission is halted, the BF flag is cleared, the SDA and SCL lines are deasserted and the SSPBUF can be written to. When the user services the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C bus is free, the user can resume communication by asserting a Start condition. If a Start, Repeated Start, Stop or Acknowledge condition was in progress when the bus collision occurred, the condition is aborted, the SDA and SCL lines are deasserted and the respective control bits in the SSPCON2 register are cleared. When the user services the bus collision Interrupt Service Routine and if the I2C bus is free, the user can resume communication by asserting a Start condition. The master will continue to monitor the SDA and SCL pins. If a Stop condition occurs, the SSPIF bit will be set. A write to the SSPBUF will start the transmission of data at the first data bit, regardless of where the transmitter left off when the bus collision occurred. In Multi-Master mode, the interrupt generation on the detection of Start and Stop conditions allows the determination of when the bus is free. Control of the I2C bus can be taken when the P bit is set in the SSPSTAT register or the bus is Idle and the S and P bits are cleared.

10.4.17.1 Bus Collision During a Start Condition
During a Start condition, a bus collision occurs if: a) b) SDA or SCL are sampled low at the beginning of the Start condition (Figure 10-26). SCL is sampled low before SDA is asserted low (Figure 10-27). If the SDA pin is sampled low during this count, the BRG is reset and the SDA line is asserted early (Figure 10-28). If, however, a 1 is sampled on the SDA pin, the SDA pin is asserted low at the end of the BRG count. The Baud Rate Generator is then reloaded and counts down to 0 and during this time, if the SCL pin is sampled as 0, a bus collision does not occur. At the end of the BRG count, the SCL pin is asserted low. Note: The reason that bus collision is not a factor during a Start condition is that no two bus masters can assert a Start condition at the exact same time. Therefore, one master will always assert SDA before the other. This condition does not cause a bus collision because the two masters must be allowed to arbitrate the first address following the Start condition. If the address is the same, arbitration must be allowed to continue into the data portion, Repeated Start or Stop conditions.
During a Start condition, both the SDA and the SCL pins are monitored. If the SDA pin is already low, or the SCL pin is already low, then all of the following occur: the Start condition is aborted, the BCLIF flag is set and the MSSP module is reset to its Idle state (Figure 10-26). The Start condition begins with the SDA and SCL pins deasserted. When the SDA pin is sampled high, the Baud Rate Generator is loaded from SSPADD<6:0> and counts down to 0. If the SCL pin is sampled low while SDA is high, a bus collision occurs because it is assumed that another master is attempting to drive a data 1 during the Start condition.

10.4.17.2 Bus Collision During a Repeated Start Condition
During a Repeated Start condition, a bus collision occurs if: a) b) A low level is sampled on SDA when SCL goes from low level to high level. SCL goes low before SDA is asserted low, indicating that another master is attempting to transmit a data 1. If SDA is low, a bus collision has occurred (i.e., another master is attempting to transmit a data 0, see Figure 10-29). If SDA is sampled high, the BRG is reloaded and begins counting. If SDA goes from highto-low before the BRG times out, no bus collision occurs because no two masters can assert SDA at exactly the same time. If SCL goes from high-to-low before the BRG times out and SDA has not already been asserted, a bus collision occurs. In this case, another master is attempting to transmit a data 1 during the Repeated Start condition (Figure 10-30). If at the end of the BRG time-out, both SCL and SDA are still high, the SDA pin is driven low and the BRG is reloaded and begins counting. At the end of the count, regardless of the status of the SCL pin, the SCL pin is driven low and the Repeated Start condition is complete.
When the user deasserts SDA and the pin is allowed to float high, the BRG is loaded with SSPADD<6:0> and counts down to 0. The SCL pin is then deasserted and when sampled high, the SDA pin is sampled.

10.4.17.3 Bus Collision During a Stop Condition
Bus collision occurs during a Stop condition if: a) After the SDA pin has been deasserted and allowed to float high, SDA is sampled low after the BRG has timed out. After the SCL pin is deasserted, SCL is sampled low before SDA goes high. The Stop condition begins with SDA asserted low. When SDA is sampled low, the SCL pin is allowed to float. When the pin is sampled high (clock arbitration), the Baud Rate Generator is loaded with SSPADD<6:0> and counts down to 0. After the BRG times out, SDA is sampled. If SDA is sampled low, a bus collision has occurred. This is due to another master attempting to drive a data 0 (Figure 10-31). If the SCL pin is sampled low before SDA is allowed to float high, a bus collision occurs. This is another case of another master attempting to drive a data 0 (Figure 10-32).

The Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART) module is one of the two serial I/O modules. (USART is also known as a Serial Communications Interface or SCI.) The USART can be configured as a full-duplex asynchronous system that can communicate with peripheral devices, such as CRT terminals and personal computers, or it can be configured as a half-duplex synchronous system that can communicate with peripheral devices, such as A/D or D/A integrated circuits, serial EEPROMs, etc.

11.1 USART Baud Rate Generator (BRG)
The BRG supports both the Asynchronous and Synchronous modes of the USART. It is a dedicated 8-bit Baud Rate Generator. The SPBRG register controls the period of a free-running 8-bit timer. In Asynchronous mode, bit BRGH (TXSTA<2>) also controls the baud rate. In Synchronous mode, bit BRGH is ignored. Table 11-1 shows the formula for computation of the baud rate for different USART modes, which only apply in Master mode (internal clock). Given the desired baud rate and FOSC, the nearest integer value for the SPBRG register can be calculated using the formula in Table 11-1. From this, the error in baud rate can be determined. It may be advantageous to use the high baud rate (BRGH = 1), even for slower baud clocks. This is because the FOSC/(16(X + 1)) equation can reduce the baud rate error in some cases. Writing a new value to the SPBRG register causes the BRG timer to be reset (or cleared). This ensures the BRG does not wait for a timer overflow before outputting the new baud rate.
11.1.1
SAMPLING
The data on the RC7/RX/DT pin is sampled three times by a majority detect circuit to determine if a high or a low level is present at the RX pin.

11.2 USART Asynchronous Mode
In this mode, the USART uses standard Non-Returnto-Zero (NRZ) format (one Start bit, eight or nine data bits and one Stop bit). The most common data format is 8-bits. An on-chip, dedicated, 8-bit Baud Rate Generator can be used to derive standard baud rate frequencies from the oscillator. The USART transmits and receives the LSb first. The transmitter and receiver are functionally independent but use the same data format and baud rate. The Baud Rate Generator produces a clock, either x16 or x64 of the bit shift rate, depending on bit BRGH (TXSTA<2>). Parity is not supported by the hardware but can be implemented in software (and stored as the ninth data bit). Asynchronous mode is stopped during Sleep. Asynchronous mode is selected by clearing bit, SYNC (TXSTA<4>). The USART asynchronous module consists of the following important elements: Baud Rate Generator Sampling Circuit Asynchronous Transmitter Asynchronous Receiver rupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set regardless of the state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be cleared in software. It will reset only when new data is loaded into the TXREG register. While flag bit TXIF indicates the status of the TXREG register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the status of the TSR register. Status bit TRMT is a read-only bit which is set when the TSR register is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to this bit, so the user has to poll this bit in order to determine if the TSR register is empty. Note 1: The TSR register is not mapped in data memory so it is not available to the user. 2: Flag bit TXIF is set when enable bit TXEN is set. TXIF is cleared by loading TXREG. Transmission is enabled by setting enable bit, TXEN (TXSTA<5>). The actual transmission will not occur until the TXREG register has been loaded with data and the Baud Rate Generator (BRG) has produced a shift clock (Figure 11-2). The transmission can also be started by first loading the TXREG register and then setting enable bit TXEN. Normally, when transmission is first started, the TSR register is empty. At that point, transfer to the TXREG register will result in an immediate transfer to TSR, resulting in an empty TXREG. A back-to-back transfer is thus possible (Figure 11-3). Clearing enable bit TXEN during a transmission will cause the transmission to be aborted and will reset the transmitter. As a result, the RC6/TX/CK pin will revert to high-impedance. In order to select 9-bit transmission, transmit bit TX9 (TXSTA<6>) should be set and the ninth bit should be written to TX9D (TXSTA<0>). The ninth bit must be written before writing the 8-bit data to the TXREG register. This is because a data write to the TXREG register can result in an immediate transfer of the data to the TSR register (if the TSR is empty). In such a case, an incorrect ninth data bit may be loaded in the TSR register.
11.2.1
USART ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSMITTER
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in Figure 11-1. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit (Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register, TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in software. The TSR register is not loaded until the Stop bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As soon as the Stop bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded with new data from the TXREG register (if available). Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR register (occurs in one TCY), the TXREG register is empty and flag bit, TXIF (PIR1<4>), is set. This inter-

When setting up an Asynchronous Transmission, follow these steps: 1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate baud rate. If a high-speed baud rate is desired, set bit BRGH (Section 11.1 USART Baud Rate Generator (BRG)). Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit TXIE. If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set transmit bit TX9. 5. 6. 7. 8. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN, which will also set bit TXIF. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit should be loaded in bit TX9D. Load data to the TXREG register (starts transmission). If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE (bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

11.2.2 USART ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER
The receiver block diagram is shown in Figure 11-4. The data is received on the RC7/RX/DT pin and drives the data recovery block. The data recovery block is actually a high-speed shifter, operating at x16 times the baud rate; whereas, the main receive serial shifter operates at the bit rate or at FOSC. Once Asynchronous mode is selected, reception is enabled by setting bit, CREN (RCSTA<4>). The heart of the receiver is the Receive (Serial) Shift Register (RSR). After sampling the Stop bit, the received data in the RSR is transferred to the RCREG register (if it is empty). If the transfer is complete, flag bit, RCIF (PIR1<5>), is set. The actual interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit, RCIE (PIE1<5>). Flag bit RCIF is a read-only bit which is cleared by the hardware. It is cleared when the RCREG register has been read and is empty. The RCREG is a double-buffered register (i.e., it is a two-deep FIFO). It is possible for two bytes of data to be received and transferred to the RCREG FIFO and a third byte to begin shifting to the RSR register. On the detection of the Stop bit of the third byte, if the RCREG register is still full, the Overrun Error bit, OERR (RCSTA<1>), will be set. The word in the RSR will be lost. The RCREG register can be read twice to retrieve the two bytes in the FIFO. Overrun bit OERR has to be cleared in software. This is done by resetting the receive logic (CREN is cleared and then set). If bit OERR is set, transfers from the RSR register to the RCREG register are inhibited and no further data will be received. It is, therefore, essential to clear error bit OERR if it is set. Framing Error bit, FERR (RCSTA<2>), is set if a Stop bit is detected as clear. Bit FERR and the 9th receive bit are buffered the same way as the receive data. Reading the RCREG will load bits RX9D and FERR with new values, therefore, it is essential for the user to read the RCSTA register before reading the RCREG register, in order not to lose the old FERR and RX9D information.

11.2.3 SETTING UP 9-BIT MODE WITH ADDRESS DETECT
When setting up an Asynchronous Reception with address detect enabled: Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate baud rate. If a high-speed baud rate is desired, set bit BRGH. Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing bit SYNC and setting bit SPEN. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit RCIE. Set bit RX9 to enable 9-bit reception. Set ADDEN to enable address detect. Enable the reception by setting enable bit CREN. Flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is complete and an interrupt will be generated if enable bit RCIE was set. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit and determine if any error occurred during reception. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the RCREG register to determine if the device is being addressed. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing enable bit CREN. If the device has been addressed, clear the ADDEN bit to allow data bytes and address bytes to be read into the receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.

11.3 USART Synchronous Master Mode
Clearing enable bit TXEN during a transmission will cause the transmission to be aborted and will reset the transmitter. The DT and CK pins will revert to highimpedance. If either bit CREN or bit SREN is set during a transmission, the transmission is aborted and the DT pin reverts to a high-impedance state (for a reception). The CK pin will remain an output if bit CSRC is set (internal clock). The transmitter logic, however, is not reset, although it is disconnected from the pins. In order to reset the transmitter, the user has to clear bit TXEN. If bit SREN is set (to interrupt an on-going transmission and receive a single word), then after the single word is received, bit SREN will be cleared and the serial port will revert back to transmitting since bit TXEN is still set. The DT line will immediately switch from HighImpedance Receive mode to transmit and start driving. To avoid this, bit TXEN should be cleared. In order to select 9-bit transmission, the TX9 (TXSTA<6>) bit should be set and the ninth bit should be written to bit TX9D (TXSTA<0>). The ninth bit must be written before writing the 8-bit data to the TXREG register. This is because a data write to the TXREG can result in an immediate transfer of the data to the TSR register (if the TSR is empty). If the TSR was empty and the TXREG was written before writing the new TX9D, the present value of bit TX9D is loaded. Steps to follow when setting up a Synchronous Master Transmission: 1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate baud rate (Section 11.1 USART Baud Rate Generator (BRG)). Enable the synchronous master serial port by setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC. If interrupts are desired, set enable bit TXIE. If 9-bit transmission is desired, set bit TX9. Enable the transmission by setting bit TXEN. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit should be loaded in bit TX9D. Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG register. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE (bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.
In Synchronous Master mode, the data is transmitted in a half-duplex manner (i.e., transmission and reception do not occur at the same time). When transmitting data, the reception is inhibited and vice versa. Synchronous mode is entered by setting bit, SYNC (TXSTA<4>). In addition, enable bit, SPEN (RCSTA<7>), is set in order to configure the RC6/TX/CK and RC7/RX/DT I/O pins to CK (clock) and DT (data) lines, respectively. The Master mode indicates that the processor transmits the master clock on the CK line. The Master mode is entered by setting bit, CSRC (TXSTA<7>).
11.3.1
USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER TRANSMISSION
The USART transmitter block diagram is shown in Figure 11-6. The heart of the transmitter is the Transmit (Serial) Shift Register (TSR). The Shift register obtains its data from the Read/Write Transmit Buffer register, TXREG. The TXREG register is loaded with data in software. The TSR register is not loaded until the last bit has been transmitted from the previous load. As soon as the last bit is transmitted, the TSR is loaded with new data from the TXREG (if available). Once the TXREG register transfers the data to the TSR register (occurs in one TCYCLE), the TXREG is empty and interrupt bit, TXIF (PIR1<4>), is set. The interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit, TXIE (PIE1<4>). Flag bit TXIF will be set regardless of the state of enable bit TXIE and cannot be cleared in software. It will reset only when new data is loaded into the TXREG register. While flag bit TXIF indicates the status of the TXREG register, another bit, TRMT (TXSTA<1>), shows the status of the TSR register. TRMT is a readonly bit which is set when the TSR is empty. No interrupt logic is tied to this bit so the user has to poll this bit in order to determine if the TSR register is empty. The TSR is not mapped in data memory so it is not available to the user. Transmission is enabled by setting enable bit, TXEN (TXSTA<5>). The actual transmission will not occur until the TXREG register has been loaded with data. The first data bit will be shifted out on the next available rising edge of the clock on the CK line. Data out is stable around the falling edge of the synchronous clock (Figure 11-9). The transmission can also be started by first loading the TXREG register and then setting bit TXEN (Figure 11-10). This is advantageous when slow baud rates are selected, since the BRG is kept in Reset when bits TXEN, CREN and SREN are clear. Setting enable bit TXEN will start the BRG, creating a shift clock immediately. Normally, when transmission is first started, the TSR register is empty so a transfer to the TXREG register will result in an immediate transfer to TSR, resulting in an empty TXREG. Back-to-back transfers are possible.

11.3.2 USART SYNCHRONOUS MASTER RECEPTION
Once Synchronous mode is selected, reception is enabled by setting either enable bit, SREN (RCSTA<5>) or enable bit, CREN (RCSTA<4>). Data is sampled on the RC7/RX/DT pin on the falling edge of the clock. If enable bit SREN is set, then only a single word is received. If enable bit CREN is set, the reception is continuous until CREN is cleared. If both bits are set, CREN takes precedence. After clocking the last bit, the received data in the Receive Shift Register (RSR) is transferred to the RCREG register (if it is empty). When the transfer is complete, interrupt flag bit, RCIF (PIR1<5>), is set. The actual interrupt can be enabled/ disabled by setting/clearing enable bit, RCIE (PIE1<5>). Flag bit RCIF is a read-only bit which is reset by the hardware. In this case, it is reset when the RCREG register has been read and is empty. The RCREG is a double-buffered register (i.e., it is a twodeep FIFO). It is possible for two bytes of data to be received and transferred to the RCREG FIFO and a third byte to begin shifting into the RSR register. On the clocking of the last bit of the third byte, if the RCREG register is still full, then Overrun Error bit, OERR (RCSTA<1>), is set. The word in the RSR will be lost. The RCREG register can be read twice to retrieve the two bytes in the FIFO. Bit OERR has to be cleared in software (by clearing bit CREN). If bit OERR is set, transfers from the RSR to the RCREG are inhibited so it is essential to clear bit OERR if it is set. The ninth receive bit is buffered the same way as the receive data. Reading the RCREG register will load bit RX9D with a new value, therefore, it is essential for the user to read the RCSTA register before reading RCREG, in order not to lose the old RX9D information. When setting up a Synchronous Master Reception: 1. Initialize the SPBRG register for the appropriate baud rate (Section 11.1 USART Baud Rate Generator (BRG)). 2. Enable the synchronous master serial port by setting bits SYNC, SPEN and CSRC. 3. Ensure bits CREN and SREN are clear. 4. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit RCIE. 5. If 9-bit reception is desired, then set bit RX9. 6. If a single reception is required, set bit SREN. For continuous reception, set bit CREN. 7. Interrupt flag bit RCIF will be set when reception is complete and an interrupt will be generated if enable bit RCIE was set. 8. Read the RCSTA register to get the ninth bit (if enabled) and determine if any error occurred during reception. 9. Read the 8-bit received data by reading the RCREG register. 10. If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing bit CREN. 11. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE (bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

11.4 USART Synchronous Slave Mode
Synchronous Slave mode differs from the Master mode in the fact that the shift clock is supplied externally at the RC6/TX/CK pin (instead of being supplied internally in Master mode). This allows the device to transfer or receive data while in Sleep mode. Slave mode is entered by clearing bit, CSRC (TXSTA<7>). When setting up a Synchronous Slave Transmission, follow these steps: 1. Enable the synchronous slave serial port by setting bits SYNC and SPEN and clearing bit CSRC. Clear bits CREN and SREN. If interrupts are desired, then set enable bit TXIE. If 9-bit transmission is desired, then set bit TX9. Enable the transmission by setting enable bit TXEN. If 9-bit transmission is selected, the ninth bit should be loaded in bit TX9D. Start transmission by loading data to the TXREG register. If using interrupts, ensure that GIE and PEIE (bits 7 and 6) of the INTCON register are set.

USART SYNCHRONOUS SLAVE TRANSMIT
The operation of the Synchronous Master and Slave modes is identical, except in the case of the Sleep mode. If two words are written to the TXREG and then the SLEEP instruction is executed, the following will occur: a) b) c) d) The first word will immediately transfer to the TSR register and transmit. The second word will remain in TXREG register. Flag bit TXIF will not be set. When the first word has been shifted out of TSR, the TXREG register will transfer the second word to the TSR and flag bit TXIF will now be set. If enable bit TXIE is set, the interrupt will wake the chip from Sleep and if the global interrupt is enabled, the program will branch to the interrupt vector (0004h).

12.0 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER (A/D) MODULE
The module has five registers: A/D Result High Register (ADRESH) A/D Result Low Register (ADRESL) A/D Control Register 0 (ADCON0) A/D Control Register 1 (ADCON1) A/D Control Register 2 (ADCON2)
The Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converter module has 11 inputs for the PIC16F737 and PIC16F767 devices and 14 for the PIC16F747 AND PIC16F777 devices. The A/D allows conversion of an analog input signal to a corresponding 10-bit digital number. A new feature for the A/D converter is the addition of programmable acquisition time. This feature allows the user to select a new channel for conversion and to set the GO/DONE bit immediately. When the GO/DONE bit is set, the selected channel is sampled for the programmed acquisition time before a conversion is actually started. This removes the firmware overhead required to allow for an acquisition (sampling) period (see Register 12-3 and Section 12.2 Selecting and Configuring Automatic Acquisition Time).
The ADCON0 register, shown in Register 12-1, controls the operation of the A/D module and clock source. The ADCON1 register, shown in Register 12-2, configures the functions of the port pins, justification and voltage reference sources. The ADCON2, shown in Register 12-3, configures the programmed acquisition time. Additional information on using the A/D module can be found in the PICmicro Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual (DS33023) and in Application Note AN546, Using the Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Converter (DS00546).

The analog reference voltage is software selectable to either the devices positive and negative supply voltage (VDD and VSS) or the voltage level on the RA3/AN3/VREF+ and RA2/AN2/VREF-/CVREF pins. The A/D converter has a unique feature of being able to operate while the device is in Sleep mode. To operate in Sleep, the A/D conversion clock must be derived from the A/Ds internal RC oscillator. The output of the sample and hold is the input into the converter, which generates the result via successive approximation.
A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state. This forces the A/D module to be turned off and any conversion in progress is aborted. Each port pin associated with the A/D converter can be configured as an analog input or as a digital I/O. The ADRESH and ADRESL registers contain the result of the A/D conversion. When the A/D conversion is complete, the result is loaded into the ADRESH/ADRESL registers, the GO/DONE bit (ADCON0 register) is cleared and A/D Interrupt Flag bit, ADIF, is set. The block diagram of the A/D module is shown in Figure 12-1.

The value in the ADRESH/ADRESL registers is not modified for a Power-on Reset. The ADRESH/ ADRESL registers will contain unknown data after a Power-on Reset. After the A/D module has been configured as desired, the selected channel must be acquired before the conversion is started. The analog input channels must have their corresponding TRIS bits selected as an input. To determine acquisition time, see Section 12.1 A/D Acquisition Requirements. After this acquisition time has elapsed, the A/D conversion can be started. An acquisition time can be programmed to occur between setting the GO/DONE bit and the actual start of the conversion. The following steps should be followed to do an A/D conversion: 1.

12.1 A/D Acquisition Requirements
For the A/D converter to meet its specified accuracy, the charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) must be allowed to fully charge to the input channel voltage level. The analog input model is shown in Figure 12-2. The source impedance (RS) and the internal sampling switch (RSS) impedance directly affect the time required to charge the capacitor CHOLD. The sampling switch (RSS) impedance varies over the device voltage (VDD), see Figure 12-2. The maximum recommended impedance for analog sources is 2.5 k. As the impedance is decreased, the acquisition time may be decreased. After the analog input channel is selected (changed), this acquisition must be done before the conversion can be started. To calculate the minimum acquisition time, Equation 12-1 may be used. This equation assumes that 1/2 LSb error is used (1024 steps for the A/D). The 1/2 LSb error is the maximum error allowed for the A/D to meet its specified resolution. To calculate the minimum acquisition time, TACQ, see the PICmicro Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual (DS33023).

Note 1: The reference voltage (VREF) has no effect on the equation since it cancels itself out. 2: The charge holding capacitor (CHOLD) is not discharged after each conversion. 3: The maximum recommended impedance for analog sources is 10 k. This is required to meet the pin leakage specification. 4: After a conversion has completed, a 2.0 TAD delay must complete before acquisition can begin again. During this time, the holding capacitor is not connected to the selected A/D input channel.

12.2 Selecting and Configuring Automatic Acquisition Time 12.3 Selecting the A/D Conversion Clock
The ADCON2 register allows the user to select an acquisition time that occurs each time the GO/DONE bit is set. When the GO/DONE bit is set, sampling is stopped and a conversion begins. The user is responsible for ensuring the required acquisition time has passed between selecting the desired input channel and setting the GO/DONE bit. This occurs when the ACQT2:ACQT0 bits (ADCON2<5:3>) remain in their Reset state (000) and is compatible with devices that do not offer programmable acquisition times. If desired, the ACQT bits can be set to select a programmable acquisition time for the A/D module. When the GO/DONE bit is set, the A/D module continues to sample the input for the selected acquisition time, then automatically begins a conversion. Since the acquisition time is programmed, there may be no need to wait for an acquisition time between selecting a channel and setting the GO/DONE bit. In either case, when the conversion is completed, the GO/DONE bit is cleared, the ADIF flag is set and the A/D begins sampling the currently selected channel again. If an acquisition time is programmed, there is nothing to indicate if the acquisition time has ended or if the conversion has begun.
The A/D conversion time per bit is defined as TAD. The A/D conversion requires a minimum 12 TAD per 10-bit conversion. The source of the A/D conversion clock is software selected. The seven possible options for TAD are: 2 TOSC 4 TOSC 8 TOSC 16 TOSC 32 TOSC 64 TOSC Internal A/D module, RC oscillator (2-6 s)
For correct A/D conversions, the A/D conversion clock (TAD) must be selected to ensure a minimum TAD time of 1.6 s. Table 12-1 shows the resultant TAD times derived from the device operating frequencies and the A/D clock source selected.
TABLE 12-1:

The RC source has a typical TAD time of 4 s but can vary between 2-6 s. When the device frequencies are greater than 1 MHz, the RC A/D conversion clock source is only recommended for Sleep operation. For extended voltage devices (LF), please refer to Section 18.0 Electrical Characteristics.

12.4 Operation in Power Managed Modes 12.5 Configuring Analog Port Pins
The ADCON1, TRISA, TRISB and TRISE registers control the operation of the A/D port pins. The port pins that are desired as analog inputs must have their corresponding TRIS bits set (input). If the TRIS bit is cleared (output), the digital output level (VOH or VOL) will be converted. The A/D operation is independent of the state of the CHS2:CHS0 bits and the TRIS bits. Note 1: When reading the Port register, all pins configured as analog input channels will read as cleared (a low level). Pins configured as digital inputs will convert an analog input. Analog levels on a digitally configured input will not affect the conversion accuracy. 2: Analog levels on any pin that is defined as a digital input, but not as an analog input, may cause the digital input buffer to consume current that is out of the devices specification.
The selection of the automatic acquisition time and A/D conversion clock is determined in part by the clock source and frequency while in a power managed mode. If the A/D is expected to operate while the device is in a power managed mode, the ACQT2:ACQT0 and ADCS2:ADCS0 bits in ADCON2 should be updated in accordance with the power managed mode clock that will be used. After the power managed mode is entered (either of the Power Managed Run modes), an A/D acquisition or conversion may be started. Once an acquisition or conversion is started, the device should continue to be clocked by the same power managed mode clock source until the conversion has been completed. If the power managed mode clock frequency is less than 1 MHz, the A/D RC clock source should be selected. Operation in Sleep mode requires the A/D RC clock to be selected. If bits ACQT2:ACQT0 are set to 000 and a conversion is started, the conversion will be delayed one instruction cycle to allow execution of the SLEEP instruction and entry to Sleep mode.

12.6 A/D Conversions
Figure 12-3 shows the operation of the A/D converter after the GO bit has been set and the ACQT2:ACQT0 bits are cleared. A conversion is started after the following instruction to allow entry into Sleep mode before the conversion begins. Figure 12-4 shows the operation of the A/D converter after the GO bit has been set, the ACQT2:ACQT0 bits are set to 010 and a 4 TAD acquisition time is selected before the conversion starts. Clearing the GO/DONE bit during a conversion will abort the current conversion. The A/D Result register pair will NOT be updated with the partially completed A/D conversion sample. This means the ADRESH:ADRESL registers will continue to contain the value of the last completed conversion (or the last value written to the ADRESH:ADRESL registers). After the A/D conversion is completed or aborted, a 2 TAD wait is required before the next acquisition can be started. After this wait, acquisition on the selected channel is automatically started. Note: The GO/DONE bit should NOT be set in the same instruction that turns on the A/D.

12.7 A/D Operation During Sleep 12.8 Effects of a Reset
The A/D module can operate during Sleep mode. This requires that the A/D clock source be set to RC (ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). When the RC clock source is selected, the A/D module waits one instruction cycle before starting the conversion. This allows the SLEEP instruction to be executed which eliminates all digital switching noise from the conversion. When the conversion is completed, the GO/DONE bit will be cleared and the result loaded into the ADRES register. If the A/D interrupt is enabled, the device will wake-up from Sleep. If the A/D interrupt is not enabled, the A/D module will then be turned off, although the ADON bit will remain set. When the A/D clock source is another clock option (not RC), a SLEEP instruction will cause the present conversion to be aborted and the A/D module to be turned off, though the ADON bit will remain set. Turning off the A/D places the A/D module in its lowest current consumption state. Note: For the A/D module to operate in Sleep, the A/D clock source must be set to RC (ADCS1:ADCS0 = 11). To perform an A/D conversion in Sleep, ensure the SLEEP instruction immediately follows the instruction that sets the GO/DONE bit. A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state. The A/D module is disabled and any conversion in progress is aborted. All A/D input pins are configured as analog inputs. The ADRES register will contain unknown data after a Power-on Reset.
12.9
Use of the CCP Trigger
An A/D conversion can be started by the special event trigger of the CCP2 module. This requires that the CCP2M3:CCP2M0 bits (CCP2CON<3:0>) be programmed as 1011 and that the A/D module is enabled (ADON bit is set). When the trigger occurs, the GO/DONE bit will be set, starting the A/D conversion, and the Timer1 counter will be reset to zero. Timer1 is reset to automatically repeat the A/D acquisition period with minimal software overhead (moving the ADRES to the desired location). The appropriate analog input channel must be selected and an appropriate acquisition time should pass before the special event trigger sets the GO/DONE bit (starts a conversion). If the A/D module is not enabled (ADON is cleared), then the special event trigger will be ignored by the A/D module but will still reset the Timer1 counter.

The comparator module contains two analog comparators. The inputs to the comparators are multiplexed with I/O port pins RA0 through RA3, while the outputs are multiplexed to pins RA4 and RA5. The on-chip voltage reference (Section 14.0 Comparator Voltage Reference Module) can also be an input to the comparators. The CMCON register (Register 13-1) controls the comparator input and output multiplexers. A block diagram of the various comparator configurations is shown in Figure 13-1.

13.1 Comparator Configuration
There are eight modes of operation for the comparators. The CMCON register is used to select these modes. Figure 13-1 shows the eight possible modes. The TRISA register controls the data direction of the comparator pins for each mode. If the Comparator mode is changed, the comparator output level may not be valid for the specified mode change delay shown in the Electrical Specifications (Section 18.0 Electrical Characteristics). Note: Comparator interrupts should be disabled during a Comparator mode change. Otherwise, a false interrupt may occur.

13.2 Comparator Operation
13.3.2 INTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL
A single comparator is shown in Figure 13-2, along with the relationship between the analog input levels and the digital output. When the analog input at VIN+ is less than the analog input VIN-, the output of the comparator is a digital low level. When the analog input at VIN+ is greater than the analog input VIN-, the output of the comparator is a digital high level. The shaded areas of the output of the comparator in Figure 13-2 represent the uncertainty due to input offsets and response time. The comparator module also allows the selection of an internally generated voltage reference for the comparators. Section 14.0 Comparator Voltage Reference Module contains a detailed description of the comparator voltage reference module that provides this signal. The internal reference signal is used when comparators are in mode CM<2:0> = 110 (Figure 13-1). In this mode, the internal voltage reference is applied to the VIN+ pin of both comparators.
13.3
Comparator Reference
13.4
Comparator Response Time
An external or internal reference signal may be used depending on the comparator operating mode. The analog signal present at VIN- is compared to the signal at VIN+ and the digital output of the comparator is adjusted accordingly (Figure 13-2).
FIGURE 13-2:
SINGLE COMPARATOR
Response time is the minimum time after selecting a new reference voltage or input source, before the comparator output has a valid level. If the internal reference is changed, the maximum delay of the internal voltage reference must be considered when using the comparator outputs. Otherwise, the maximum delay of the comparators should be used (Section 18.0 Electrical Characteristics).

Comparator Outputs

The comparator outputs are read through the CMCON register. These bits are read-only. The comparator outputs may also be directly output to the RA4 and RA5 I/O pins. When enabled, multiplexors in the output path of the RA4 and RA5 pins will switch and the output of each pin will be the unsynchronized output of the comparator. The uncertainty of each of the comparators is related to the input offset voltage and the response time given in the specifications. Figure 13-3 shows the comparator output block diagram. The TRISA bits will still function as an output enable/ disable for the RA4 and RA5 pins while in this mode. The polarity of the comparator outputs can be changed using the C2INV and C1INV bits (CMCON<4:5>).
Output Output
13.3.1
EXTERNAL REFERENCE SIGNAL
When external voltage references are used, the comparator module can be configured to have the comparators operate from the same or different reference sources. However, threshold detector applications may require the same reference. The reference signal must be between VSS and VDD and can be applied to either pin of the comparator(s).
Note 1: When reading the Port register, all pins configured as analog inputs will read as a 0. Pins configured as digital inputs will convert an analog input according to the Schmitt Trigger input specification. 2: Analog levels on any pin defined as a digital input may cause the input buffer to consume more current than is specified. 3: RA4 is an open collector I/O pin. When used as an output, a pull-up resistor is required.

Comparator Interrupts
Note:
The comparator interrupt flag is set whenever there is a change in the output value of either comparator. Software will need to maintain information about the status of the output bits, as read from CMCON<7:6>, to determine the actual change that occurred. The CMIF bit (PIR registers) is the Comparator Interrupt Flag. The CMIF bit must be reset by clearing it (0). Since it is also possible to write a 1 to this register, a simulated interrupt may be initiated. The CMIE bit (PIE registers) and the PEIE bit (INTCON register) must be set to enable the interrupt. In addition, the GIE bit must also be set. If any of these bits are clear, the interrupt is not enabled, though the CMIF bit will still be set if an interrupt condition occurs.
If a change in the CMCON register (C1OUT or C2OUT) should occur when a read operation is being executed (start of the Q2 cycle), then the CMIF (PIR registers) interrupt flag may not get set.
The user, in the Interrupt Service Routine, can clear the interrupt in the following manner: a) b) Any read or write of CMCON will end the mismatch condition. Clear flag bit CMIF.
A mismatch condition will continue to set flag bit CMIF. Reading CMCON will end the mismatch condition and allow flag bit CMIF to be cleared.

13.7 Comparator Operation During Sleep 13.9 Analog Input Connection Considerations
When a comparator is active and the device is placed in Sleep mode, the comparator remains active and the interrupt is functional if enabled. This interrupt will wake-up the device from Sleep mode when enabled. While the comparator is powered up, higher Sleep currents than shown in the power-down current specification will occur. Each operational comparator will consume additional current as shown in the comparator specifications. To minimize power consumption while in Sleep mode, turn off the comparators (CM<2:0> = 111) before entering Sleep. If the device wakes up from Sleep, the contents of the CMCON register are not affected.
A simplified circuit for an analog input is shown in Figure 13-4. Since the analog pins are connected to a digital output, they have reverse biased diodes to VDD and VSS. The analog input, therefore, must be between VSS and VDD. If the input voltage deviates from this range by more than 0.6V in either direction, one of the diodes is forward biased and a latch-up condition may occur. A maximum source impedance of 10 k is recommended for the analog sources. Any external component connected to an analog input pin, such as a capacitor or a Zener diode, should have very little leakage current.
13.8
Effects of a Reset
A device Reset forces the CMCON register to its Reset state, causing the comparator module to be in the Comparator Off mode, CM<2:0> = 111. This ensures compatibility to the PIC16F87X devices.

14.0 COMPARATOR VOLTAGE REFERENCE MODULE
supply voltage (also referred to as CVRSRC) comes directly from VDD. It should be noted, however, that the voltage at the top of the ladder is CVRSRC VSAT, where VSAT is the saturation voltage of the power switch transistor. This reference will only be as accurate as the values of CVRSRC and VSAT. The output of the reference generator may be connected to the RA2/AN2/VREF-/CVREF pin. This can be used as a simple D/A function by the user if a very high-impedance load is used. The primary purpose of this function is to provide a test path for testing the reference generator function.
The comparator voltage reference generator is a 16-tap resistor ladder network that provides a fixed voltage reference when the comparators are in mode 110. A programmable register controls the function of the reference generator. Register 14-1 lists the bit functions of the CVRCON register. As shown in Figure 14-1, the resistor ladder is segmented to provide two ranges of CVREF values and has a power-down function to conserve power when the reference is not being used.

15.0 SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE CPU
Sleep mode is designed to offer a very low current power-down mode. The user can wake-up from Sleep through external Reset, Watchdog Timer Wake-up or through an interrupt. Several oscillator options are also made available to allow the part to fit the application. The RC oscillator option saves system cost while the LP crystal option saves power. Configuration bits are used to select the desired oscillator mode. Additional information on special features is available in the PICmicro Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual (DS33023).
These devices have a host of features intended to maximize system reliability, minimize cost through elimination of external components, provide power saving operating modes and offer code protection: Reset - Power-on Reset (POR) - Power-up Timer (PWRT) - Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) - Brown-out Reset (BOR) - Low-Voltage Detect (LVD) Interrupts Watchdog Timer (WDT) Two-Speed Start-up Fail-Safe Clock Monitor Sleep Code Protection ID Locations In-Circuit Serial Programming There are two timers that offer necessary delays on power-up. One is the Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST), intended to keep the chip in Reset until the crystal oscillator is stable. The other is the Power-up Timer (PWRT), which provides a fixed delay of 72 ms (nominal) on power-up only. It is designed to keep the part in Reset while the power supply stabilizes and is enabled or disabled using a configuration bit. With these two timers on-chip, most applications need no external Reset circuitry.
15.1
Configuration Bits
The configuration bits can be programmed (read as 0) or left unprogrammed (read as 1) to select various device configurations. These bits are mapped in program memory locations 2007h and 2008h. The user will note that address 2007h is beyond the user program memory space which can be accessed only during programming.

15.2 Reset
The PIC16F7X7 differentiates between various kinds of Reset: Power-on Reset (POR) MCLR Reset during normal operation MCLR Reset during Sleep WDT Reset during normal operation WDT Wake-up during Sleep Brown-out Reset (BOR) Some registers are not affected in any Reset condition. Their status is unknown on POR and unchanged in any other Reset. Most other registers are reset to a Reset state on Power-on Reset (POR), on the MCLR and WDT Reset, on MCLR Reset during Sleep and Brownout Reset (BOR). They are not affected by a WDT wake-up which is viewed as the resumption of normal operation. The TO and PD bits are set or cleared differently in different Reset situations, as indicated in Table 15-3. These bits are used in software to determine the nature of the Reset. Upon a POR, BOR or wake-up from Sleep, the CPU requires approximately 5-10 s to become ready for code execution. This delay runs in parallel with any other timers. See Table 15-4 for a full description of Reset states of all registers. A simplified block diagram of the on-chip Reset circuit is shown in Figure 15-1.

15.3 MCLR 15.5 Power-up Timer (PWRT)
PIC16F7X7 devices have a noise filter in the MCLR Reset path. The filter will detect and ignore small pulses. It should be noted that a WDT Reset does not drive MCLR pin low. The behavior of the ESD protection on the MCLR pin has been altered from previous devices of this family. Voltages applied to the pin that exceed its specification can result in both MCLR and excessive current beyond the device specification during the ESD event. For this reason, Microchip recommends that the MCLR pin no longer be tied directly to VDD. The use of an RC network, as shown in Figure 15-2, is suggested. The MCLR/VPP/RE3 pin can be configured for MCLR (default) or as an input pin (RE3). This is configured through the MCLRE bit in Configuration Word Register 1. The Power-up Timer (PWRT) of the PIC16F7X7 is a counter that uses the INTRC oscillator as the clock input. This yields a count of 72 ms. While the PWRT is counting, the device is held in Reset. The power-up time delay depends on the INTRC and will vary from chip-to-chip due to temperature and process variation. See DC parameter #33 for details. The PWRT is enabled by clearing configuration bit PWRTEN.
15.6
Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST)
The Oscillator Start-up Timer (OST) provides 1024 oscillator cycles (from OSC1 input) delay after the PWRT delay is over (if enabled). This helps to ensure that the crystal oscillator or resonator has started and stabilized. The OST time-out is invoked only for XT, LP and HS modes and only on Power-on Reset or wake-up from Sleep.

Three configuration bits (BOREN Configuration Word Register 1, bit 6; BORSEN Configuration Word Register 2, bit 6; SBOREN PCON, bit 2) together disable or enable the Brown-out Reset circuit in one of its three operating modes. If VDD falls below VBOR (defined by BORV<1:0> bits in Configuration Word Register 1) for longer than TBOR (parameter #35, about 100 s), the brown-out situation will reset the device. If VDD falls below VBOR for less than TBOR, a Reset may not occur. Once the brown-out occurs, the device will remain in Brown-out Reset until VDD rises above VBOR. The Power-up Timer (if enabled) will keep the device in Reset for TPWRT (parameter #33, about 72 ms). If VDD should fall below VBOR during TPWRT, the Brown-out Reset process will restart when VDD rises above VBOR with the Power-up Timer Reset. Unlike previous PIC16 devices, the PWRT is no longer automatically enabled when the Brown-out Reset circuit is enabled. The PWRTEN and BOREN configuration bits are independent of each other.
15.4
Power-on Reset (POR)
A Power-on Reset pulse is generated on-chip when VDD rise is detected (in the range of 1.2V-1.7V). To take advantage of the POR, tie the MCLR pin to VDD, as described in Section 15.3 MCLR. A maximum rise time for VDD is specified. See Section 18.0 Electrical Characteristics for details. When the device starts normal operation (exits the Reset condition), device operating parameters (voltage, frequency, temperature,...) must be met to ensure operation. If these conditions are not met, the device must be held in Reset until the operating conditions are met. For more information, see Application Note AN607, Power-up Trouble Shooting (DS00607).

15.8 Low-Voltage Detect
In many applications, the ability to determine if the device voltage (VDD) is below a specified voltage level is a desirable feature. A window of operation for the application can be created, where the application software can do housekeeping tasks before the device voltage exits the valid operating range. This can be done using the Low-Voltage Detect module. This module is a software programmable circuitry, where a device voltage trip point can be specified. When the voltage of the device becomes lower then the specified point, an interrupt flag is set. If the interrupt is enabled, the program execution will branch to the interrupt vector address and the software can then respond to that interrupt source. The Low-Voltage Detect circuitry is completely under software control. This allows the circuitry to be turned off by the software which minimizes the current consumption for the device. Figure 15-3 shows a possible application voltage curve (typically for batteries). Over time, the device voltage decreases. When the device voltage equals voltage VA, the LVD logic generates an interrupt. This occurs at time TA. The application software then has the time, until the device voltage is no longer in valid operating range, to shut down the system. Voltage point VB is the minimum valid operating voltage specification. This occurs at time TB. The difference, TB TA, is the total time for shutdown. The block diagram for the LVD module is shown in Figure 15-4. A comparator uses an internally generated reference voltage as the set point. When the selected tap output of the device voltage crosses the set point (is lower than), the LVDIF bit is set. Each node in the resistor divider represents a trip point voltage. The trip point voltage is the minimum supply voltage level at which the device can operate before the LVD module asserts an interrupt. When the supply voltage is equal to the trip point, the voltage tapped off of the resistor array is equal to the 1.2V internal reference voltage generated by the voltage reference module. The comparator then generates an interrupt signal setting the LVDIF bit. This voltage is software programmable to any one of 16 values (see Figure 15-4). The trip point is selected by programming the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits (LVDCON<3:0>).

15.10 Operation
Depending on the power source for the device voltage, the voltage normally decreases relatively slowly. This means that the LVD module does not need to be constantly operating. To decrease the current requirements, the LVD circuitry only needs to be enabled for short periods where the voltage is checked. After doing the check, the LVD module may be disabled. Each time that the LVD module is enabled, the circuitry requires some time to stabilize. After the circuitry has stabilized, all status flags may be cleared. The module will then indicate the proper state of the system. The following steps are needed to set up the LVD module: 1. Write the value to the LVDL3:LVDL0 bits (LVDCON register) which selects the desired LVD trip point. Ensure that LVD interrupts are disabled (the LVDIE bit is cleared or the GIE bit is cleared). Enable the LVD module (set the LVDEN bit in the LVDCON register). Wait for the LVD module to stabilize (the IRVST bit to become set). Clear the LVD interrupt flag, which may have falsely become set, until the LVD module has stabilized (clear the LVDIF bit). Enable the LVD interrupt (set the LVDIE and the GIE bits).

15.10.1 REFERENCE VOLTAGE SET POINT
15.13 Time-out Sequence

On power-up, the time-out sequence is as follows: the PWRT delay starts (if enabled) when a POR occurs. Then, OST starts counting 1024 oscillator cycles when PWRT ends (LP, XT, HS). When the OST ends, the device comes out of Reset. If MCLR is kept low long enough, all delays will expire. Bringing MCLR high will begin execution immediately. This is useful for testing purposes or to synchronize more than one PIC16F7X7 device operating in parallel. Table 15-3 shows the Reset conditions for the Status, PCON and PC registers, while Table 15-4 shows the Reset conditions for all the registers.
The internal reference voltage of the LVD module may be used by other internal circuitry (the Programmable Brown-out Reset). If these circuits are disabled (lower current consumption), the reference voltage circuit requires a time to become stable before a low-voltage condition can be reliably detected. This time is invariant of system clock speed. This start-up time is specified in electrical specification parameter #36. The low-voltage interrupt flag will not be enabled until a stable reference voltage is reached. Refer to the waveform in Figure 15-6.
15.10.2
CURRENT CONSUMPTION
When the module is enabled, the LVD comparator and voltage divider are enabled and will consume static current. The voltage divider can be tapped from multiple places in the resistor array. Total current consumption, when enabled, is specified in electrical specification parameter #D022B.
15.14 Power Control/Status Register (PCON)

The Power Control/Status register, PCON, has two bits to indicate the type of Reset that last occurred. Bit 0 is Brown-out Reset Status bit, BOR. Bit BOR is unknown on a Power-on Reset. It must then be set by the user and checked on subsequent Resets to see if bit BOR cleared, indicating a Brown-out Reset occurred. When the Brown-out Reset is disabled, the state of the BOR bit is unpredictable. Bit 1 is Power-on Reset Status bit, POR. It is cleared on a Power-on Reset and unaffected otherwise. The user must set this bit following a Power-on Reset.
15.11 Operation During Sleep

When enabled, the LVD circuitry continues to operate during Sleep. If the device voltage crosses the trip point, the LVDIF bit will be set and the device will wakeup from Sleep. Device execution will continue from the interrupt vector address if interrupts have been globally enabled.
15.12 Effects of a Reset

A device Reset forces all registers to their Reset state. This forces the LVD module to be turned off. Note: If the LVD is enabled and the BOR module is not enabled, the band gap will require a start-up time of no more than 50 s before the band gap reference is stable. Before enabling the LVD interrupt, the user should ensure that the band gap reference voltage is stable by monitoring the IRVST bit in the LVDCON register. The LVD could cause erroneous interrupts before the band gap is stable.

15.15 Interrupts
The PIC16F7X7 has up to 17 sources of interrupt. The Interrupt Control register (INTCON) records individual interrupt requests in flag bits. It also has individual and global interrupt enable bits. Note: Individual interrupt flag bits are set regardless of the status of their corresponding mask bit or the GIE bit. The peripheral interrupt flags are contained in the Special Function Register, PIR1. The corresponding interrupt enable bits are contained in Special Function Register, PIE1 and the peripheral interrupt enable bit is contained in Special Function Register, INTCON. When an interrupt is serviced, the GIE bit is cleared to disable any further interrupt, the return address is pushed onto the stack and the PC is loaded with 0004h. Once in the Interrupt Service Routine, the source(s) of the interrupt can be determined by polling the interrupt flag bits. The interrupt flag bit(s) must be cleared in software before re-enabling interrupts to avoid recursive interrupts. For external interrupt events, such as the INT pin or PORTB change interrupt, the interrupt latency will be three or four instruction cycles. The exact latency depends on when the interrupt event occurs relative to the current Q cycle. The latency is the same for one or two-cycle instructions. Individual interrupt flag bits are set regardless of the status of their corresponding mask bit, PEIE bit or the GIE bit.
A global interrupt enable bit, GIE (INTCON<7>), enables (if set) all unmasked interrupts or disables (if cleared) all interrupts. When bit GIE is enabled and an interrupts flag bit and mask bit are set, the interrupt will vector immediately. Individual interrupts can be disabled through their corresponding enable bits in various registers. Individual interrupt bits are set regardless of the status of the GIE bit. The GIE bit is cleared on Reset. The return from interrupt instruction, RETFIE, exits the interrupt routine, as well as sets the GIE bit which re-enables interrupts. The RB0/INT pin interrupt, the RB port change interrupt and the TMR0 overflow interrupt flags are contained in the INTCON register.

15.15.1 INT INTERRUPT 15.15.3 PORTB INTCON CHANGE
External interrupt on the RB0/INT pin is edge-triggered, either rising if bit INTEDG (OPTION<6>) is set or falling if the INTEDG bit is clear. When a valid edge appears on the RB0/INT pin, flag bit INTF (INTCON<1>) is set. This interrupt can be disabled by clearing enable bit, INTE (INTCON<4>). Flag bit INTF must be cleared in software in the Interrupt Service Routine before reenabling this interrupt. The INT interrupt can wake-up the processor from Sleep if bit INTE was set prior to going into Sleep. The status of global interrupt enable bit, GIE, decides whether or not the processor branches to the interrupt vector following wake-up. See Section 15.18 Power-down Mode (Sleep) for details on Sleep mode. An input change on PORTB<7:4> sets flag bit, RBIF (INTCON<0>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit, RBIE (INTCON<4>), see Section 2.2 Data Memory Organization.
15.16 Context Saving During Interrupts

During an interrupt, only the return PC value is saved on the stack. Typically, users may wish to save key registers during an interrupt (i.e., W, Status registers). Since the upper 16 bytes of each bank are common in the PIC16F7X7 devices, temporary holding registers W_TEMP, STATUS_TEMP and PCLATH_TEMP should be placed in here. These 16 locations dont require banking and therefore, make it easier for context save and restore. The same code shown in Example 15-1 can be used.
15.15.2
TMR0 INTERRUPT
An overflow (FFh 00h) in the TMR0 register will set flag bit, TMR0IF (INTCON<2>). The interrupt can be enabled/disabled by setting/clearing enable bit, TMR0IE (INTCON<5>), see Section 6.0 Timer0 Module.

15.17 Watchdog Timer (WDT)
For PIC16F7X7 devices, the WDT has been modified from previous PIC16 devices. The new WDT is code and functionally backward compatible with previous PIC16 WDT modules, and allows the user to have a scaler value for the WDT and TMR0 at the same time. In addition, the WDT time-out value can be extended to 268 seconds, using the prescaler with the postscaler when PSA is set to 1. A new prescaler has been added to the path between the internal RC and the multiplexors used to select the path for the WDT. This prescaler is 16 bits and can be programmed to divide the internal RC by 128 to 65536, giving the time base used for the WDT a nominal range of 1 ms to 2.097s.
15.17.2
WDT CONTROL
15.17.1
WDT OSCILLATOR
The WDTEN bit is located in Configuration Word Register 1 and when this bit is set, the WDT runs continuously. The SWDTEN bit is in the WDTCON register. When the WDTEN bit in the Configuration Word Register 1 is set, the SWDTEN bit has no effect. If WDTEN is clear, then the SWDTEN bit can be used to enable and disable the WDT. Setting the bit will enable it and clearing the bit will disable it. The PSA and PS<2:0> bits (OPTION_REG) have the same function as in previous versions of the PIC16 family of microcontrollers.
The WDT derives its time base from the 31.25 kHz INTRC; therefore, the accuracy of the 31.25 kHz will be the same accuracy for the WDT time-out period. The value of WDTCON is ---0 1000 on all Resets. This gives a nominal time base of 16.38 ms, which is compatible with the time base generated with previous PIC16 microcontroller versions. Note: When the OST is invoked, the WDT is held in Reset because the WDT ripple counter is used by the OST to perform the oscillator delay count. When the OST count has expired, the WDT will begin counting (if enabled).

15.17.3 TWO-SPEED CLOCK START-UP MODE
Two-Speed Start-up minimizes the latency between oscillator start-up and code execution that may be selected with the IESO (Internal/External Switch Over) bit in Configuration Word Register 2. This mode is achieved by initially using the INTRC for code execution until the primary oscillator is stable. If this mode is enabled and any of the following conditions exist, the system will begin execution with the INTRC oscillator. This results in almost immediate code execution with a minimum of delay. POR and after the Power-up Timer has expired (if PWRTEN = 0) or following a wake-up from Sleep or a Reset, when running from T1OSC or INTRC (after a Reset, SCS<1:0> are always set to 00). Note: Following any Reset, the IRCF bits are zeroed and the frequency selection is forced to 31.25 kHz. The user can modify the IRCF bits to select a higher internal oscillator frequency. Checking the state of the OSTS bit will confirm whether the primary clock configuration is engaged. If not, the OSTS bit will remain clear. When the device is auto-configured in INTRC mode following a POR or wake-up from Sleep, the rules for entering other oscillator modes still apply, meaning the SCS<1:0> bits in OSCCON can be modified before the OST time-out has occurred. This would allow the application to wake-up from Sleep, perform a few instructions using the INTRC as the clock source and go back to Sleep without waiting for the primary oscillator to become stable. Note: Executing a SLEEP instruction will abort the oscillator start-up time and will cause the OSTS bit to remain clear.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
Two-Speed Start-up Sequence
If the primary oscillator is configured to be anything other than XT, LP or HS, then Two-Speed Start-up is disabled because the primary oscillator will not require any time to become stable after POR or an exit from Sleep. If the IRCF bits of the OSCCON register are configured to a non-zero value prior to entering Sleep mode, the secondary system clock frequency will come from the output of the INTOSC. The IOFS bit in the OSCCON register will be clear until the INTOSC is stable. This will allow the user to determine when the internal oscillator can be used for time critical applications.
Wake-up from Sleep, Reset or POR. OSCON bits configured to run from INTRC (31.25 kHz). Instructions begin execution by INTRC (31.25 kHz). OST enabled to count 1024 clock cycles. OST timed out, wait for falling edge of INTRC. OSTS is set. System clock held low for eight falling edges of new clock (LP, XT or HS). System clock is switched to primary source (LP, XT or HS).
The software may read the OSTS bit to determine when the switch over takes place so that any software timing edges can be adjusted.

15.17.4 FAIL-SAFE OPTION
The Fail-Safe Clock Monitor (FSCM) is designed to allow the device to continue to operate even in the event of an oscillator failure. The FSCM sample clock is generated by dividing the INTRC clock by 64. This will allow enough time between FSCM sample clocks for a system clock edge to occur. On the rising edge of the postscaled clock, the monitoring latch (CM = 0) will be cleared. On a falling edge of the primary or secondary system clock, the monitoring latch will be set (CM = 1). In the event that a falling edge of the postscaled clock occurs and the monitoring latch is not set, a clock failure has been detected. While in Fail-Safe mode, a Reset will exit the Fail-Safe condition. If the primary clock source is configured for a crystal, the OST timer will wait for the 1024 clock cycles for the OST time-out and the device will continue running from the internal oscillator until the OST is complete. A SLEEP instruction, or a write to the SCS bits (where SCS bits do not = 00), can be performed to put the device into a low-power mode. If Reset occurs while in Fail-Safe mode and the primary clock source is EC or RC, then the device will immediately switch back to EC or RC mode. Note: Two-Speed Start-up is automatically enabled when the Fail-Safe option is enabled.

Clock Failure Detected
The FSCM function is enabled by setting the FCMEN bit in Configuration Word Register 2. In the event of an oscillator failure, the FSCM will generate an oscillator fail interrupt and will switch the system clock over to the internal oscillator. The system will continue to come from the internal oscillator until the Fail-Safe condition is exited. The Fail-Safe condition is exited with either a Reset, the execution of a SLEEP instruction or a write to the SCS bits of a different value. The frequency of the internal oscillator will depend upon the value contained in the IRCF bits. Another clock source can be selected via the IRCF and the SCS bits of the OSCCON register.
15.17.4.1
Fail-Safe in Low-Power Mode
A change of SCS<1:0> or the SLEEP instruction will end the Fail-Safe condition. The system clock will default to the source selected by the SCS bits, which is either T1OSC, INTRC or none (Sleep mode). However, the FSCM will continue to monitor the system clock. If the secondary clock fails, the device will immediately switch to the internal oscillator clock. If OSFIE is set, an interrupt will be generated.

15.17.4.2 FSCM and the Watchdog Timer 15.18.1 WAKE-UP FROM SLEEP
When a clock failure is detected, SCS<1:0> will be forced to 10 which will reset the WDT (if enabled). The device can wake-up from Sleep through one of the following events: 1. 2. 3. External Reset input on MCLR pin. Watchdog Timer wake-up (if WDT was enabled). Interrupt from INT pin, RB port change or a peripheral interrupt.
15.17.4.3
POR or Wake from Sleep
The FSCM is designed to detect oscillator failure at any point after the device has exited Power-on Reset (POR) or low-power Sleep mode. When the primary system clock is EC, RC or INTRC modes, monitoring can begin immediately following these events. For oscillator modes involving a crystal or resonator (HS, LP or XT), the situation is somewhat different. Since the oscillator may require a start-up time considerably longer than the FSCM sample clock time, a false clock failure may be detected. To prevent this, the internal oscillator block is automatically configured as the system clock and functions until the primary clock is stable (the OST and PLL timers have timed out). This is identical to Two-Speed Start-up mode. Once the primary clock is stable, the INTR returns to its role as the FSCM source. Note: The same logic that prevents false oscillator failure interrupts on POR or wake from Sleep, will also prevent the detection of the oscillators failure to start at all following these events. This can be avoided by monitoring the OSTS bit and using a timing routine to determine if the oscillator is taking too long to start. Even so, no oscillator failure interrupt will be flagged.
External MCLR Reset will cause a device Reset. All other events are considered a continuation of program execution and cause a wake-up. The TO and PD bits in the Status register can be used to determine the cause of the device Reset. The PD bit, which is set on power-up, is cleared when Sleep is invoked. The TO bit is cleared if a WDT time-out occurred and caused wake-up. The following peripheral interrupts can wake the device from Sleep: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. TMR1 interrupt. Timer1 must be operating as an asynchronous counter. CCP Capture mode interrupt. Special event trigger (Timer1 in Asynchronous mode using an external clock). SSP (Start/Stop) bit detect interrupt. SSP transmit or receive in Slave mode (SPI/I2C). A/D conversion (when A/D clock source is RC). EEPROM write operation completion. Comparator output changes state. USART RX or TX (Synchronous Slave mode).
15.18 Power-down Mode (Sleep)

Power-down mode is entered by executing a SLEEP instruction. If enabled, the Watchdog Timer will be cleared but keeps running, the PD bit (Status<3>) is cleared, the TO (Status<4>) bit is set and the oscillator driver is turned off. The I/O ports maintain the status they had before the SLEEP instruction was executed (driving high, low or high-impedance). For lowest current consumption in this mode, place all I/O pins at either VDD or VSS, ensure no external circuitry is drawing current from the I/O pin, power-down the A/D and disable external clocks. Pull all I/O pins that are high-impedance inputs, high or low externally, to avoid switching currents caused by floating inputs. The T0CKI input should also be at VDD or VSS for lowest current consumption. The contribution from on-chip pull-ups on PORTB should also be considered. The MCLR pin must be at a logic high level (VIHMC).
Other peripherals cannot generate interrupts since during Sleep, no on-chip clocks are present. When the SLEEP instruction is being executed, the next instruction (PC + 1) is prefetched. For the device to wake-up through an interrupt event, the corresponding interrupt enable bit must be set (enabled). Wake-up occurs regardless of the state of the GIE bit. If the GIE bit is clear (disabled), the device continues execution at the instruction after the SLEEP instruction. If the GIE bit is set (enabled), the device executes the instruction after the SLEEP instruction and then branches to the interrupt address (0004h). In cases where the execution of the instruction following SLEEP is not desirable, the user should have a NOP after the SLEEP instruction.

15.18.2 WAKE-UP USING INTERRUPTS
When global interrupts are disabled (GIE cleared) and any interrupt source has both its interrupt enable bit and interrupt flag bit set, one of the following will occur: If the interrupt occurs before the execution of a SLEEP instruction, the SLEEP instruction will complete as a NOP. Therefore, the WDT and WDT prescaler and postscaler (if enabled) will not be cleared, the TO bit will not be set and the PD bit will not be cleared. If the interrupt occurs during or after the execution of a SLEEP instruction, the device will immediately wake-up from Sleep. The SLEEP instruction will be completely executed before the wake-up. Therefore, the WDT and WDT prescaler and postscaler (if enabled) will be cleared, the TO bit will be set and the PD bit will be cleared. Even if the flag bits were checked before executing a SLEEP instruction, it may be possible for flag bits to become set before the SLEEP instruction completes. To determine whether a SLEEP instruction executed, test the PD bit. If the PD bit is set, the SLEEP instruction was executed as a NOP. To ensure that the WDT is cleared, a CLRWDT instruction should be executed before a SLEEP instruction.

15.19 In-Circuit Debugger
When the DEBUG bit in the Configuration Word is programmed to a 0, the in-circuit debugger functionality is enabled. This function allows simple debugging functions when used with MPLAB ICD. When the microcontroller has this feature enabled, some of the resources are not available for general use. Table 15-7 shows which features are consumed by the background debugger.
15.22 In-Circuit Serial Programming

PIC16F7X7 microcontrollers can be serially programmed while in the end application circuit. This is simply done with two lines for clock and data and three other lines for power, ground and the programming voltage (see Figure 15-17 for an example). This allows customers to manufacture boards with unprogrammed devices and then program the microcontroller just before shipping the product. This also allows the most recent firmware or a custom firmware to be programmed. For general information of serial programming, please refer to the In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) Guide (DS30277).

16.0 INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
The PIC16 instruction set is highly orthogonal and is comprised of three basic categories: Byte-oriented operations Bit-oriented operations Literal and control operations Each PIC16 instruction is a 14-bit word divided into an opcode, which specifies the instruction type and one or more operands, which further specify the operation of the instruction. The formats for each of the categories are presented in Figure 16-1, while the various opcode fields are summarized in Table 16-1. Table 13-2 lists the instructions recognized by the MPASMTM Assembler. A complete description of each instruction is also available in the PICmicro Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual (DS33023). For byte-oriented instructions, f represents a file register designator and d represents a destination designator. The file register designator specifies which file register is to be used by the instruction. The destination designator specifies where the result of the operation is to be placed. If d is zero, the result is placed in the W register. If d is one, the result is placed in the file register specified in the instruction. For bit-oriented instructions, b represents a bit field designator which selects the bit affected by the operation, while f represents the address of the file in which the bit is located. For literal and control operations, k represents an eight or eleven-bit constant or literal value One instruction cycle consists of four oscillator periods; for an oscillator frequency of 4 MHz, this gives a normal instruction execution time of 1 s. All instructions are executed within a single instruction cycle, unless a conditional test is true, or the program counter is changed as a result of an instruction. When this occurs, the execution takes two instruction cycles, with the second cycle executed as a NOP. Note: To maintain upward compatibility with future PIC16F7X7 products, do not use the OPTION and TRIS instructions. For example, a CLRF PORTB instruction will read PORTB, clear all the data bits, then write the result back to PORTB. This example would have the unintended result that the condition that sets the RBIF flag would be cleared for pins configured as inputs and using the PORTB interrupt-on-change feature.

Any instruction that specifies a file register as part of the instruction performs a Read-Modify-Write (R-M-W) operation. The register is read, the data is modified, and the result is stored according to either the instruction, or the destination designator d. A read operation is performed on a register even if the instruction writes to that register.

2: 3:
When an I/O register is modified as a function of itself ( e.g., MOVF PORTB, 1), the value used will be that value present on the pins themselves. For example, if the data latch is 1 for a pin configured as input and is driven low by an external device, the data will be written back with a 0. If this instruction is executed on the TMR0 register (and where applicable, d = 1), the prescaler will be cleared if assigned to the Timer0 module. If Program Counter (PC) is modified or a conditional test is true, the instruction requires two cycles. The second cycle is executed as a NOP.
Note:
Additional information on the mid-range instruction set is available in the PICmicro Mid-Range MCU Family Reference Manual (DS33023).

Note 1: This is the limit to which VDD can be lowered without losing RAM data. 2: The supply current is mainly a function of the operating voltage and frequency. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading and switching rate, oscillator type, internal code execution pattern and temperature also have an impact on the current consumption. The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are: OSC1 = external square wave, from-rail to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified. 3: The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is measured with the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD and VSS. 4: For RC osc configuration, current through REXT is not included. The current through the resistor can be estimated by the formula Ir = VDD/2REXT (mA) with REXT in k. 5: Timer1 oscillator (when enabled) adds approximately 20 A to the specification. This value is from characterization and is for design guidance only. This is not tested. 6: The current is the additional current consumed when this peripheral is enabled. This current should be added to the base IDD or IPD measurement. 7: When BOR is enabled, the device will operate correctly until the VBOR voltage trip point is reached.

Shading of rows is to assist in readability of the table. The power-down current in Sleep mode does not depend on the oscillator type. Power-down current is measured with the part in Sleep mode, with all I/O pins in high-impedance state and tied to VDD or VSS and all features that add delta current disabled (such as WDT, Timer1 Oscillator, BOR, etc.). The supply current is mainly a function of operating voltage, frequency and mode. Other factors, such as I/O pin loading and switching rate, oscillator type and circuit, internal code execution pattern and temperature, also have an impact on the current consumption. The test conditions for all IDD measurements in active operation mode are: OSC1 = external square wave, from rail-to-rail; all I/O pins tri-stated, pulled to VDD; MCLR = VDD; WDT enabled/disabled as specified.

Note 1: In RC oscillator configuration, the OSC1/CLKI pin is a Schmitt Trigger input. It is not recommended that the PIC16F7X7 be driven with external clock in RC mode. 2: The leakage current on the MCLR pin is strongly dependent on the applied voltage level. The specified levels represent normal operating conditions. Higher leakage current may be measured at different input voltages. 3: Negative current is defined as current sourced by the pin.

These parameters are characterized but not tested. As a transmitter, the device must provide this internal minimum delay time to bridge the undefined region (min. 300 ns) of the falling edge of SCL to avoid unintended generation of Start or Stop conditions. A fast mode (400 kHz) I2C bus device can be used in a standard mode (100 kHz) I2C bus system, but the requirement, TSU:DAT 250 ns, must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line, TR max. + TSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the standard mode I2C bus specification), before the SCL line is released.
